MENTORNET... Flexible, Free, and Fun!!!

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's One-on-One Mentoring Programs pair women engineering and science college undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and untenured faculty as proteges with female or male professionals from all sectors as mentors for one-on-one, email-based mentoring (e-mentoring) relationships.

The flagship industry E-Mentoring Program is for proteges interested in working in industry or at a government laboratory or agency, while our Academic Career E-Mentoring Program is for graduate students, postdocs and untenured faculty pursuing faculty careers.

The program has proven effective by providing "real world" information, encouragement, advice, and access to networks that are otherwise often unavailable to women in the male dominated fields of engineering and science. This is why over 90% of participants would recommend MentorNet's e-mentoring programs to a friend or colleague.
