Although the program sounds great, it does cost institutions a small fee =
to participate. Seems like ESA, AAAS, or another institution could =
easily duplicate this program without cost so that all may participate. =
If you are working at or enrolled in a non-participating institution, =
you aren't eligible. Seems like this defeats the purpose! Especially =
considering that faculty at the poorest schools or institutions that =
have poor ethics up and down are the most in need, and the least likely =
to get help! The concept sounds very worthwhile, I would just like to =
see a program that is more inclusive. If I have misinterpreted the =
website, feel free to correct me! =20

Subject: MentorNet
I can second Gary Grossman's positive opinion about MentorNet
(www.MentorNet.net), the E-Mentoring Network for Diversity in
Engineering and Science. I've mentored a couple of people through the
program and think it is a mutually rewarding opportunity that hasn't
taken much of a time commitment.
