"My mentor's support and encouragement really helped me get through this semester and to continue my current major emphasis...I was really unsure and worried about not being in the right subfield or even my major...but after getting to know what my mentor does and how she got through her college years, I was not worried" - MentorNet Protégé

MentorNet is the award-winning nonprofit e-mentoring network that positively affects the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and others underrepresented in these fields. 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, government, and higher education. In addition, the MentorNet Community provides opportunities to connect with others from around the world who are interested in diversifying engineering and science. Read more About MentorNet.
