Today at midnight (in just over an hour) is the deadline for all 2008-2009 SEED
application materials. I am still getting a steady flow of emails from applicants,
managers, and recommenders with final submissions. I have been surprised to get several
dozen new applications today – usually, the last day of the 20-day-long application
period is dedicated to revisions and additional recommendations (polishing the apples
rather than planting new trees). I received the most recent new application just over
an hour ago.
The SEED mentoring program is accepting applications from Sun Engineering
staff worldwide for its Recent Hire and Established Staff mentoring terms which
will start in September 2008. (The next PreSEED term does not start until
January 2009.) To date, we have received 169 SEED applications, 122 of which
are complete. This total includes:
- Recent Hires: 45 applications, 28 complete
- Established Staff: 124 applications, 94 complete
