This is super great! My only asks to any of your action items would be for some implementation details, but it's a while off yet so that may be unnecessary. One further thing that might be worth thinking about is what can you set in motion in the interim year that will either provide you more data for when you return to enact the proposal, or will start to move things in the direction you want?
| ## The Proposal: Expansion of the Seedlings Mentorship Program | ||
|
|
||
| ### Current Resources | ||
| MSRS currently has a year-round mentorship program called Seedlings, where a student currently involved in research (usually a junior or senior working in a lab) is paired with a student new to undergraduate research or who is interested in starting undergraduate research. At the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, the Seedlings program accepts applications from undergraduate students to become mentors, and then takes applications from students who wish to be mentees. Mentees are matched to mentors with similar research interests and majors. It is expected that the mentor/mentee relationship continues without further club intervention. |

Aw this sounds super great! I love the name

| ### The Problem | ||
| Currently, our community does not have a way to quantify how our program affects students new to research, and we have received informal feedback that contact between mentor and mentee plateaus as the semester becomes busier. As a result, the desired mentee-mentor relationship does not develop and our program does not have the desired impact. |
