The department's industrial liaison program, the Computer Science Resources Consortium, has also sponsored a mentoring program; matching students with women professionals. Students visit with their mentors during holiday breaks and are "matched" by geographic location. The support group also provides mentoring; graduate students serve as mentors for the junior and senior women while the junior and senior women are mentors for the freshmen and sophomores. Beginning spring 1995, scholarships will also be available to female cs majors in our department. |
