Feedback?

Hello Everyone!  As most of you already know, I am the PI on an NSF grant that gives scholarships to students and supports them through internship/authentic experiences.  I designed and submitted the grant proposal and this is the first semester of implementation.  We made our first awards last week and I am just dealing with all the glitches in setting up a new system for the first time.  I am excited though, it is my intention to follow this research through and use it in my dissertation.  If you have any interest, feel free to check out the mentor/internship network I have set up for the students at http://s-stemmentor.blogspot.com.  This is a blog network based on experience I had with mentoring students through undergraduate research experiences - you can check out the old model at http://pcbiointerns2011.blogspot.com/.  I am attempting to create an online cohort for these students as most are non-traditional and the typical university model cohort hasn't worked well with this population in the past.  Any feedback you happen to have would be most welcome.
