E-MAIL MENTOR SYSTEM INSPIRES GIRLS IN ENGINEERING
(Source: The Seattle Times, September 20, 1998)

A new program called "MentorNet" aims to link female students with experienced
male and female professionals to provide hands-on, real-life feedback and
advice. A lot of the relationship takes place over e-mail, overcoming
geographical, time and scheduling constraints. Mentors are asked to volunteer
for an academic year (September-June) and conduct e-mail exchanges at least once
a week. MentorNet provides initial set-up and training information as well as
ongoing resources if problems or questions arise. MentorNet can be reached at
their Web site (www.mentornet.net), via e-mail (cbmuller@email.sjsu.edu), or by
phone (408-924-4070).
