While the long hours, meetings, and constant communication may be easier rewarding and fulfilling for the student with the idea-holder, for faculty members this process can be arduous. For this reason, sustainability of a program or club is essential.</span></span>

<span style="color: rgb(52, 52, 52); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15;">In giving support to a student and his/her idea , a faculty member is putting his/her name behind the idea and dedicating time and energy to helping the program off the ground. If the program is successful and succeeds while the student is at the institution, out of respect the student should make strides to allow the program to continue. If every program that faculty members supported and helped initiate collapsed upon the original student’s graduation, there may be a quick decline in the number of faculty members willing to support future ideas.</span>

<span style="color: rgb(52, 52, 52); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15;">A powerful model to achieve these results assigns leadership to non-senior classes. By having the club or program president a sophomore or junior, this president may step down the following year and while remaining at the institution allow for an easy a smoother transition into the new leadership. The presence of the former president will also ease the workload of the faculty advisor. If the president each year graduated, the faculty advisor would be tasked with making sure that the new president is effective and produces good results. Allowing the former president to oversee these duties both respects the faculty advisor’s time and efforts and ensures a continued quality of leadership.</span>
