So... Open Source mentor programs for students?

Is that too few words? :)

I referenced some stuff that referenced some other stuff in this 
article: 
http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2011/05/31/effective-mentoring-programs/

And you'll find lots on integrating interns in HR materials - start 
here, maybe?

In any case, internships & "how we learn by doing" should provide ample 
material for you to craft a paper from HR, management, education and 
psychology papers ;-)

Cheers,
Dave.
