MentorNet E-Mentoring
 MentorNet is the award-winning nonprofit e-mentoring network that positively affects the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and others underrepresented in these fields. Founded in 1997, MentorNet provides highly motivated protégés from many of the world's top colleges and universities with positive, one-on-one, email-based mentoring relationships with mentors from industry, government, and higher education. In addition, the MentorNet Community provides opportunities to connect with others from around the world who are interested in diversifying engineering and science.
ISCB student and post doc members can join MentorNet free of charge as protégés for e-mentoring opportunities, and ISCB professional members are highly encouraged to enroll as mentors in order to provide e-mentoring to protégés. Both protégés and mentors can specify a requirement to be matched with an ISCB member to ensure a connection directly within the computational biology community (although such a limitation might result in a delay while awaiting an ISCB-specific match).
