Mentor Program
By working together we can start to build a better future. At least that is the goal. The mentor program here in the Computer Science Department is set up so that young women and minority students can work with people in the 'real world': the world beyond graduate school. If you are interested in participating please contact Laurian Vega (lhobby@vt.edu).
Otherwise, if you just want to work with a system that is already set up try MentorNet.net. Here is their synopsis: "MentorNet is the award-winning nonprofit e-mentoring network that addresses the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and other underrepresented groups. Founded in 1997, MentorNet provides highly motivated protégés from many of the world's top colleges and universities with positive, one-on-one, email-based mentoring relationships with mentors from industry and academia. In addition, the MentorNet Community provides opportunities to connect with others from around the world who are interested in diversifying engineering and science."
