If the chosen faculty or staff member is not available or the student does not have a particular person in mind, a member of the Student Life and Outreach Committee will serve as the mentor.

If you would like a member of the Student Life and Outreach Committee to serve as the mentor please write "assign" in the two mentor questions below.
