Join MentorNet!
MentorNet is an e-networking program that pairs undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs in engineering and science fields with professionals in industry as mentors for one-on-one, email-based mentoring relationships. It was originally designed for and directed toward women; however, it is now open to all students. The program provides "real world" information, encouragement and advice. Nearly 100 Penn Engineering students participated in this program last year.
Students can choose their own mentor. Immediately after creating an individual profile with your specific preferences, you can view the available mentors and select one that matches your criteria. If you prefer, you can request that MentorNet assign a mentor to you based on your profile.
You can also participate in E-Forum, a web-based discussion group system designed to be a supportive and engaging place for members to discuss ideas and make connections. These discussion groups are available to you whether or not you choose to sign up for a one-on-one e-mentoring relationship.
To learn more and/or sign up, please visit the MentorNet web site at http://www.mentornet.net
