[ACM-W] Get career advice!

[Bettina Bair]

Get personal, one-on-one career advice from a professional computer engineer
or computer scientist!

Here is an opportunity for students in any of the computing majors.  Get
"real world" information, encouragement, advice, and access to professional
networks from professionals working in your field.

MentorNet's One-on-One Mentoring Programs focus on matching women and
underrepresented minorities with female or male professionals from all
sectors as mentors for one-on-one, email-based mentoring (e-mentoring)
relationships. MentorNet proteges are in the engineering and science fields
and are community college, undergraduate, and graduate students, postdocs
and untenured faculty.

Our 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 those underrepresented in the fields of engineering and
science. This is why more than 90% of participants would recommend
MentorNet's e-mentoring programs to a friend or colleague.
