On Wednesday, the SEED Engineering mentoring program Selection Committees
picked 69 new participants:
- 25 September 2007-September 2008 Recent Hires (12 month term)
- 44 September 2007-March 2008 Established Staff (6 month term)
The participants are putting together their Mentor Wish Lists now; those are due on
9 July. This group was unusual in several ways: fewer applicants, lower
percentage of managers and women, broader geographic spread. SEED has its
first participants working in Chile, Brazil, and Turkey this term.
We are looking into why there are these differences. Here is some information
about our new folks:
19% of those selected had previously applied to the program.

Tanya and I think we exchanged about 1,500 emails during the last week
with program applicants and their managers. Good to be on to the next
phase…
