Today
Greg Papadopoulos, Sun’s CTO and Executive Vice President of Research and Development, as the sponsor for Engineering’s worldwide mentoring program,
sent out his announcement that the 2008-2009 SEED terms will be open for
applications from 21 May – 9 June 2008. As I wrote in my
May 10, 2008 blog, as of Greg’s announcement today, we have integrated PreSEED
with the Recent Hire and Established staff groups offered by the SEED program.
The 2008-2009 terms just announced are for Recent Hire and Established
staff groups. The next regular worldwide all-Engineering PreSEED term will be offered
January-June 2009 (with applications in November 2008).
The SEED program now has coverage for all of the exempt grades in Engineering, which
it didn’t before. This sounds like a small change but it took Tanya Jankot and me
months of tool redesign and rewriting of the process documents to be sure that
everything was covered and made sense. Now for the live test of a worldwide
all-Engineering application period…
