Case Studies
Many institutions and organizations have developed infrastructures to facilitate finding and working with mentors and for training both mentors
and mentees to get full advantage of the relationship. This chapter collects a variety of examples of successful programs, some of which are generally available and some of which provide templates for other institutions to consider. Unlike the other chapters, here the sections closely correspond to specific panel members since these are essentially successful case studies. These include:
- MentorNet, winner of a 2001 Presidential Award for Excellence
in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM)
- The Center for Workforce Development at the University of Washington,
winner of a 1998 PAESMEM
- The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at UC Berkeley
- The Caltech Women's Center
- The Virginia Tech ADVANCE Program
