Chapter 1 Introduction

• This is the participation manual for Eagle I.O student consultants. It contains the expectations, roles, and responsibilities of MSU graduate students who are also members of Eagle I.O.
• Members are expected to participate for 1.5 years (one Fall semester, two Spring semesters, and to be reasonably available over Winter and Summer breaks)
• As of Spring semester 2020, the ongoing projects that Eagle I.O manages include:
  1. A mentorship program between the 1^st and 2^nd year MSU I.O Masters’ program student cohorts, and PhD program student cohorts
  2. An engagement survey
  3. This student consultant manual (which includes, for example, a succession plan to sustain and grow Eagle I.O)
• Future aspirations are to have Eagle I.O. be a client-facing organization that can provide student-led solutions to external clients
