My impression of what a secondary mentor for capstone advising is to be a supplemental source of information and support for what my primary mentor is unable to fulfill. I realize not everyone can be great at every piece of what my capstone may be. I also realize I cannot expect to have a professor at my beckon call at any point during the semester/year I am working on my capstone. If I am able to have a secondary mentor, I would benefit because additional insight and knowledge will be very helpful to me.
The kind of person that may not be good for a role as a secondary mentor for me would be anyone that doesn’t have the skill set to advise me on my capstone and of course anyone that does not have the time to commit to being a source for information or support.
Because I already have a primary mentor, I used the time researching MAS faculty to look for appropriate secondary mentors. From my research, it seems Wade Mitchell and Prof. Huang would be good contenders for secondary mentors for my capstone project.
