Faculty Mentors

This is just an idea I am working through for Scholars.  What would you think of being assigned (or choosing) a faculty mentor starting your second year at Wartburg?  This would be a person to help you navigate academia, Scholars, going to conferences, post-graduate fellowships, honors organizations, etc.

I am looking for ways to keep students in Scholars by making it more relevant to them personally.  I would need to find a way of rewarding the faculty and make sure that the ratio of Scholars to Mentor would be small (no more than 3).  The faculty may or may not be someone from your major depending on the number of students in your program.

Anyway - feedback is welcome.
