PSs shared similar feelings of burnout with the year-long format,especially for those that facilitated the same tool area for all four rotations. Scheduling issues inthe final rotation of Spring 2024 required some PSs to facilitate outside of their normal tool area,which they felt unprepared to do given the lack of formal planning. Based on these issues, full-time staff initiated a re-design of the Staff CoP program before the 2024-2025 academic year,with development and implementation led primarily by newly promoted PSs.MethodologyRevision and

connections.Challenges Faced:It should be made clear that the students are expected to lead the interactions with their mentors.The first year of our program, some students, especially the younger ones saw the mentorssimilar to their faculty members. Since their only previous experience was in a classroom setting,they would show up to a meeting with the mentor and expect the mentor to teach them theknowledge they need like a professor with a lesson plan. To combat this, the application wasupdated to include questions about what the student wanted to get out of the year-longexperience and what questions they planned to ask their mentor so that they are thinking of thesetopics ahead of time. The program announcement and the application also now contain
