Congratulations to MentorNet for facilitating such beneficial relationships to both mentors and proteges for ten years! I have very much enjoyed "meeting" each of my proteges and have found that I learn at least as much as they do from our conversations. MentorNet gives us all a way to easily do good in the world and help the next generation of scientists and engineers. I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for MentorNet for the next decade.

I've had the great fortune to have served MentorNet for the entire first decade, and I'm looking forward to the second decade. Congratulations to Carol and her crew, past and present. And thanks to all my proteges, past and present. You have made a profound difference in my life.

Hi from Boise State
Though we got off to a bit of a late start this school year, we have made some successful MentorNet matches with BSU proteges, including myself (BSU's MentorNet coordinator). Today we are giving a presentation and doing a promo lunch to encourage students to sign up for MentorNet's one-on-one mentoring program. We applaud MentorNet's encourement and support of diversity in engineering, technology and sciences. Keep up the good work!!

Happy Birthday, MentorNet. I recall the Wepan meeting when Carol proposed this bold project. It was exciting then, and it is has been exciting to see MentorNet grow to be 10 years old. I congratulate Carol, her wonderful staff, and the many mentors who have volunteered over the years. I thank the visionary sponsors who helped nurture this fledgling organization in its early years, and I thank the current sponsors who continue to support MentorNet's work.

I wish that there had been something like this when I was in school. And, I wished my boys had had something like this.
Despite not all of my mentoring relationships working out, I feel like I've made a real impact on their lives. The students take you seriously and listen to you, possibly in ways that they don't for their parents.
MentorNet has been an easy way to make a difference and give back.

My experience is what the guestbook entries so far show - we mentors definitely get a lot out of this! If I've ever been of any small help to any protege, that's a fantastic bonus.
A main lesson for me has been the reminders of how difficult the college experience really is - especially in these days of balancing school with work and family, too. I have gained a huge respect for students everywhere, and they deserve all the breaks they can get. Thank you Mentornet for the opportunities to be of service, and may we have many more! Peace!

I am just starting my way as a mentor, but I can tell that this experience is fulfilling and enriching. MentorNet serves both as a connection point between the proteges and the mentors and as a guide to make these connections fruitful and efficient in a manner that benefits both parties.
I think that in this way, MentorNet has been and is a commendable initiative that benefits society.
I wish MentorNet many more years of operation.
I would like to see MentorNet finds it way to expand globally so as to include students from more countries around the world. MentorNet could be a tool to bring together people from different corners of the world and perform a small step towards the diminishing of the scientific and technological gaps betwen different societies.
Keep up the good work.

I am glad I volunteered 6-7 years ago to participate in the program. I learn something new with each pairing. The flexible guidelines that allow particpants to maintain a relationship that works within each of their schedules keeps me coming back for more.
It feels good to give back even if it is as simple as being a sounding board or providing encouragement. Looking forward to your 20th:)!!

Happy Birthday MentorNet!
Has it been 10 years already? I've been a mentor for the past 5-6 years, and I have really enjoyed 'meeting' the several young ladies over the years. They have come from all over the US, with all sorts of backgrounds and experiences, and I imagine I've learned just as much from them as I hope they've learned from me. Not only does MentorNet provide a valuable asset to (primarily) women in the sciences, but it's greatly enjoyable, too!
