Fall 2021 Professional Mentor Sign Up
Thank you for showing an interest in GradSWE's Mentoring Program!

The GradSWE mentoring program serves as an avenue for graduate women in SWE to network with a formal mentor. Proteges and mentors both submit interest forms and are matched based on their responses.  

Roles and expectations of the mentoring program are agreed upon between mentors and proteges. At minimum, it is expected that both parties will be respectful with each other's availability. The mentoring coordinators provide monthly topics of interest periodically to facilitate conversations between the mentor and mentee, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the mentee to start the conversations. There is no requirement from GradSWE with regard to extraordinary efforts or monetary investments to make the mentoring relationship successful.By signing up for the program we are expecting for you to reply to us and contact your match(es) in a timely fashion.

Mentor Eligibility
Mentors must demonstrate competency in a needed area of knowledge.
Mentors can be male or female.
Mentors can have any engineering background, but must have an engineering background.
Mentors will preferably have a graduate degree; however, this is not a requirement.
It is not necessary for a mentor to join SWE for the first year of participation in the program. After one year, if the individual wishes to not join SWE, existing relationships will remain but no new proteges will be assigned.

The matching process:
After enrollment closes, all graduate proteges who signed up will be given an anonymous list of potential mentors. Graduate proteges will then be required to fill out a preference form to indicate which of the mentors they would prefer to be matched with. Using the preference form and the questions answered below, the mentoring team will match proteges with a mentor that most closely aligns with their interests and needs. Mentoring pairs will not be rematched except in extenuating circumstances.

Please answer the following questions about your ideal mentoring relationship with a graduate student protege. We will be putting this information in a spreadsheet anonymously such that graduate proteges may self-select their preferred mentor(s).

The questions which will be shared with the graduate proteges are indicated by the statement "This will be shared for matching purposes." After matching is completed, your responses may be shared with the graduate protege that you are matched with.
