[Air-L] Voting Open & A Question for Candidates

[Jeremy hunsinger]

I prefer informal relations too, but informal relations work best in small
companies, as we grow and reach out, we'll need to provide clear 'paths to
community' which may take more or less formal systems, but 'paths into the
community' is really what the graduate student mentoring is about, less
than systems of hierarchy and formalized relations.   Also mentorship is
'opt-in', if you want to participate great, if not, no worries. I've been
on both sides of the mentorship relationship so far, and I think that i've
benefitted from all the relationships that I've developed, so I am a strong
supporter of mentor networks for graduate students.
