New E-Mentoring Service Available!
Ohio State has enrolled in MentorNet, the award-winning, e-mentoring network for diversity in engineering and science, to offer one-on-one, e-mail-based mentoring opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral staff and early career faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. MentorNet is nonprofit and free to students and addresses the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and other underrepresented groups. To find a mentor, fill out a profile online and select a mentor. To volunteer as a mentor, fill out a mentor profile online as well. OSU's enrollment in this service is funded by the colleges of Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Math and Physical Sciences; and the Women's Place.

Phone-A-Thon
Winter
and Spring quarters WiE holds a Phone-a-thon. At that time, student
volunteers call each high school woman who has been accepted to the
University for Autumn quarter and is interested in engineering. The
engineering student offers to answer any questions the young woman may
have about Ohio State and the College of Engineering. Instructions and
refreshments are provided while you talk with prospective students.
THIS
IS ONE OF OUR MOST EFFECTIVE RECRUITING TOOLS FOR WOMEN ENGINEERING
STUDENTS - AND A LOT OF FUN!!

Visiting
High Schools
Share
your college experiences with your high school or an Ohio school. During
academic breaks the WiE program organizes will set up a day for you
to visit your high school and share your information about Ohio State
and Engineering. Throughout the year the WiE program also visits Ohio
schools to promote Engineering. Volunteer for the local school visits
and we will contact you about the dates and locations of the visits
and you can pick the days you would like to volunteer. This is a great
opportunity for you to help increase the number of women studying engineering!!
