"We can help a person to be himself by our own willingness to steep ourselves temporarily in his world, in his private feelings and experiences. By our affirmation of the person as he is, we give  him support and strength to take on the next step in his own growth."  - Clark Moustakas

2. Mentors for current cycle - Individuals that have been accepted as mentors for cadets that are currently in the Academy.

3. Post-residental Mentors - Individuals that are currently mentoring cadets during the 12-month post residential phase of the program.
