83% SEEDs Matched

We have matched 83% of the 2006-2007 SEED mentoring program participants
with mentors. There are 15 left to match. The last two pairs matched
are interesting from the point of view of geographic, demographic,
and professional diversity.

1. The first mentor earned three university degrees (from California, and
   New Hampshire). She is a Vice President in Business Architecture here in
   the San Francisco Bay Area and has been with Sun over 20 years.

   She will be mentoring a Systems Group Engineering Manager with university degrees from India and Texas. He also works in the Bay
   Area and has been with Sun for 8 years.

2. The second mentor earned at least two university degrees (from
   Indiana and Missouri) after she started out in India. She is a Marketing
   Director and Sun Sigma Master Black Belt here in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been with Sun over 14 years. She was a SEED participant herself several years ago.

   She will be mentoring a Software Staff Engineer with university degrees from France and New Jersey who works in the UK. He has been with Sun for
   over 8 years.

Last week’s reduction in force here did effect some of SEED’s 2006-2007
participants and newly-matched mentors but we are actively working
to re-match participants whose mentors have left Sun.
