We are now facing + the unpleasant challenge of trying to decide which of the 39 + proposals to select, taking into account the quality, + desirability and feasibility of each proposal, as well as + ensuring we will be able to provide an excellent mentoring + experience to each selected student. All mentors have + volunteered to mentor, and we pair students with mentors + primarily based on the prospective mentor's areas of expertise, + interest in the project, also taking into account the desire to + pair students up with mentors in similar timezones in order to + improve the student experience. The final list of accepted + students is expected to be announced on the 21st April.</p> + </body> + </project> </report>
