-This section will give you an overview of your role in Capstone.
+**//Mission of BYU and the Capstone program//**
-===How Capstone carries out BYU's Mission===
+[[https://aims.byu.edu/|The mission of Brigham Young University]]—founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of //intensive learning in a stimulating setting// where a //commitment to excellence is expected// and the //full realization of human potential// is pursued.
-You should review the [[https://aims.byu.edu/|Mission and Aims of a BYU Education]] because they guide all that we do in the BYU Capstone program. The BYU Capstone program is a bridging experience between the academic environment and the professional engineering world in which we hope our students will lead. As students engage positively in the program, working with external sponsors, Capstone leads to "Lifelong Learning and Service". As a culminating engineering experience for engineering seniors in which they use the skills they have acquired through three years of engineering training, it is "Intellectually Enlarging". We hope that as the students learn to work in teams and work with the Spirit, the experience will be "Spiritually Strengthening" and "Character Building". BYU Capstone is a culminating experience for the students who go through and embrace the program.
-===Your Role is Essential and Important - why we need YOU ===
+__Capstone Objective__
-We appreciate your desire to work with our capstone students to help them become successful engineers. Students will value your experience and expertise, and you will be an example to them of a professional that can blend technical and interpersonal abilities with faith. Spending time with students (in group and one-on-one) is one of the best ways to help them develop. While projects and sponsor relationships are important, your top priority is the welfare and development of the students in your stewardship.

+__Role of Capstone__
-The **[[Resources]]** page has many useful links and information that will help you to be an effective coach.\\
+  *Intensive learning in a stimulating setting
+  *Commitment to excellence is expected
+  *Full realization of human potential
+From a recent address by President Worthen: “As our mission statement makes clear, a BYU education focuses on the //“full realization of human potential.”//  And modern-day prophets, who direct this University have emphasized that that potential is much greater than most people understand.  All our students -- indeed all human beings -- are //“beloved spirit sons and daughters of heavenly parents and as such each has a divine nature and destiny.”//  If we can help our students understand and act on the deep truths in that simple sentence, it will transform and increase the value of their BYU education in ways that no earthly ranking system can measure.”
+Thank you for your willingness to be a Capstone coach this year! For more information on how you fit in with the Capstone objective see [[Coach Expectations]].
