Since 9 July, we have been in the SEED 2008-2009 Mentor Matching Cycle.
That is, the 84 Engineering mentoring program Participants (Mentees)
have created and prioritized their 15-name Mentor Wish Lists and I am
in the process of sequentially contacting
the highest priority potentially available mentor for each of them.
In about a month, 81 or 96% have been matched so
far. There are two terms being matched at the same time:
- September 2008 – September 2009 Recent Hire Term
which already has 22 out of 23 matched - September 2008 – March 2009 Established Staff Term
which already has 59 out of 61 matched
