In just eight days after starting to match mentoring pairs, we have 35 of the 71 SEED
Engineering Mentoring participants for 2005-2006 matched with mentors.
17 of the 34 Recent Hires are matched and 18 of the 37 Established Staff participants
are matched.
We have so far had 210 mentors in the program (since 2001). 40% of those SEED mentors
have served 2 or more times. 11 have been mentors 4 or more times.
Today, we announced the winners of the last five SEED travel matching scholarships. We
have given away 15 travel awards so that program participants can join the SEED
term kick off event in September. Most of the winners will be travelling from India and China
but we have some from Russia and the Czech Republic and Singapore as well. We also
announced the eight SEED Showcase speakers
for the event. The SEED Showcase consists of brief presentations on current work by SEED participants, past and present. The other event speakers are executives and Engineering
leaders.
