Faculty Advisor/Mentor Program

Hello hello!

A few weeks ago, [livejournal.com profile] dr_jwilsonmd suggested a student/teacher mentor/academic advisor program. This will basically give every student a designated member of staff that they can go to ICly to ask questions, get advice and butt heads :D

All students will have to sign up so they can be assigned a mentor/advisor. Teachers offering to be mentors/advisors is optional, but encouraged. A set number of students will be assigned to each teacher (how many depends on how many teachers sign up).

How the teacher/student mentor relationship is manifested is up to both parties involved. Once you're paired up, you can talk to each other OOCly and decide what works best for both of you. The teacher may want to see their students once a week or two weeks or once a month for a meeting, they may want to get involved in the student's school life or they may want to handwave everything. Work it out between yourselves to see what suits you best.

Teachers please volunteer below in the Teachers thread. How much time you want to spend getting involved in this is up to you. Please don't ask for specific students.

Students please list the top 5 faculty members that you would like as your faculty advisor/mentor. All students have to pick someone.

We will do our best to give everyone their highest preference possible. If too many students want one teacher for their first preference, we'll pick names out of a hat then go to the second preference and so on.

Please sign up by Wednesday, February 7.

All comments are screened.

Have a happy and cheesecake-filled Wednesday (or Thursday)!

ETA: This is an OOC sign up to show player intentions. Your student doesn't have to know the teachers you list, and the teachers don't actually have to *want* to sign up. As with class sign-ups, we can do handwavey paperwork mistakes :)

ETA 2: Zoe, Hades, Tick, Fraser, Mickey and Swedish Chef (and Das Schnitzel) are all eligible as well if the players sign up. Faculty is faculty as long as they're not NPCs. When signing up assume that everyone is going to sign up. If they don't, there'll be a chance to change your preferences later.

What if your student is new and doesn't know 5 faculty members?

That was added *as* I was commenting. Thanks :)

Can we see which teachers are volunteering?

Is it possible to cite no preference? I'd rather have a chance to be randomly assigned to broaden my RP horizons than sticking with folks I know. Would that be okay?

Could you link to the staff list? I know I could find it if I poked around, but it would be useful.

Thanks.

I know a couple characters are in that section just because they don't fit anywhere else and they're clearly not really teachers. So I say only tongue in cheek that how much do we need someone to have Das Schnitzel as a Faculty Advisor?
