Carol Gorski and I have finished our presentation on “5 Years of Mentoring
by the Numbers” here at the TechLeaders Workshop of the Hopper Conference
in San Diego. Our two sessions about Sun’s SEED Engineering mentoring program
were well attended and we answered many good questions. As always at Hopper,
it is a pleasure to meet so many interesting and accomplished technical
professionals. At this workshop, we are sharing ideas of programs and
methods that work to increase the numbers of women in computer science
and encourage those already in the field.
Tomorrow morning, the full conference starts. The keynote speaker will be
Shirley Tilghman, President of Princeton University. My panel “Mentoring
by the Numbers” is right after her talk.
I had less than six hours of sleep last night after an uneventful flight from
San Jose. I hope to get more sleep tonight. We three who are on the
panel tomorrow are going to meet after the workshop to make plans but that
should not go too late.
