The head coordinators, in turn, select in all their infinite wisdom the 36 mentors who are actually charged with introducing you to the nuances of Rice. Like the coordinators, these people are interviewed and chosen, except this time out of a hundred or so applicants from Baker and other colleges, the mentors are those who possess certain traits or quirks that, in the head coordinators' opinion, will help you adjust to this crazy place best. The mentors we just covered above. Seriously, though, mentors exist to answer any questions you have, to put your parents at ease, and to help out any way they can. Also here for you are your Baker Associates .
Associates are simply non-student members of the colleges.
You'll end up having a nice dinner at an Associate's home one night during O-Week.
