The MentorNet Experience - From The Mentor's Side

Date & Time:

Abstract:

As more and more young women go to college to obtain degrees in mathematics, science and engineering, there is an increasing need for those of us already in industry and academia to mentor these young women. This is an invaluable experience and fosters learning for both the mentor and the protégé. MentorNet is an organization dedicated to finding mentors for these young women and facilitating the mentoring process.
