MentorNet: The E-Mentoring Network for Diversity in Engineering and Science
Here is an opportunity for women studying science, mathematics or engineering. Get "real world" information, encouragement, advice, and access to professional networks from professionals working in your field.
MentorNet is the award-winning nonprofit e-mentoring network that positively affects the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and others underrepresented in these fields. Founded in 1997, MentorNet provides highly motivated protégés from many of the world's top colleges and universities with positive, one-on-one, email-based mentoring relationships with mentors from industry,government, and higher education. In addition, the MentorNet Community provides opportunities to connect with others from around the world who are interested in diversifying engineering and science.
What Does MentorNet Offer?
- MentorNet's award-winning One-on-One E-Mentoring Program, pairing community college, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and untenured faculty with experienced professionals in their fields for email-based mentoring relationships.
- The MentorNet E-Forum: web-based discussion groups for anyone interested in topics such as Work/Life Balance, Job Searching, and Graduate School.
- Resources for and about mentoring, diversity, and careers in engineering and science.
- A Résumé Database for students seeking jobs or internships.
Why Should I Join?
For protégés, mentoring provides "real world" information, encouragement, advice, and access to networks (especially those often unavailable to women in male dominated fields). Mentors volunteer their time to help a protégé, but often find an enriching and rewarding experience for themselves.
With MentorNet's email based program, finding time for mentoring and being mentored becomes easy. Join the MentorNet Community now.
