CALL FOR MENTORS
E-mentoring opportunity - just 15 minutes per week
Dear (Name),
I'm writing to tell you about a great mentoring
opportunity which only takes about 15 minutes per week.
MentorNet seeks science and engineering
professionals in industry, academia and
government to mentor engineering and science
community college, undergraduate, and graduate
students, particularly women and underrepresented
minorities, who are interested in pursuing a
professional future in the fields of engineering and science.
MentorNet also seeks tenured faculty members to
mentor graduate students, postdocs and untenured
faculty pursuing faculty careers.
Though mentors volunteer their time to benefit
the protégé, they can also find a rewarding
experience for themselves. "I hope [my student]
is getting as much out of it as I am," is how one
MentorNet mentor puts it. More than 90% of
participants would recommend MentorNet's
e-mentoring programs to a friend or colleague.
MentorNet's research-based programs have proven
effective by providing "real world" information,
encouragement, advice, and access to networks for
students, and particularly for those
underrepresented in engineering and science fields.
