NOGLSTP has partnered with MentorNet®, the E-Mentoring Network for Diversity in Engineering and Science, to provide on-line mentoring opportunities for its gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT) students in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The NOGLSTP-MentorNet partnership provides NOGLSTP with a national e-mentoring network that unites academic institution, corporate institution, and scientific and technical professional society mentors with GLBT college and graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career faculty through MentorNet's award-winning One-on-One Mentoring Programs. To participate, protégés must be a registered member of NOGLSTP or at a MentorNet participating college or university, while mentors have educational or professional backgrounds in engineering or science. In addition to offering traditional one-on-one mentoring through the transition of college student to workforce employee, the NOGLSTP Mentoring Project hopes to help its protégés to answer questions unique to the career-bound LGBT community, such as:

• If /when to come out in an interview?
• Should one de-gay one's life at school or work?
• What companies are gay-friendly?
• Should I join a student or Employee Resource Group or a professional association like NOGLSTP?

NOGLSTP Mentoring Project Details
As this project is still in development, details are subject to change

• Participation is free to all NOGLSTP members.
• All NOGLSTP members who are undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs and early-career faculty may apply to be a protégé through the MentorNet® portal, regardless of whether their academic institution is a MentorNet® participant.
• All NOGLSTP members and affiliates who are established in their careers are eligible to volunteer as mentors.
• How to become a Protégé or Mentor
1. If you are a NOGLSTP member, make sure your membership status is current. You can do this by examining the date code on your most recent newsletter label, or check with the NOGLSTP Office. If you are not a NOGLSTP member, you may join now online.
2. Request your personal noglstp.net email address from the NOGLSTP Office. This email address is our way of letting the MentorNet® people know you are a NOGLSTP member. So that we can confirm that you are a student, be sure to use your university email address when placing your request. If you are volunteering to be a mentor, please use your workplace email address when placing your request so we can confirm your credentials.
3. Register as a member of the MentorNet® community, using your @noglstp.net email address, and create a protégé or mentor profile. This may involve submitting references that will verify your student or employment status.
4. Wait to be notified of a potential protégé-mentor match.
5. Protégés with a match: review the profile of your potential mentor(s) and accept or decline the match. Please note: your matches will be based on the priorities and interest areas you indicate in your profile, not necessarily exclusively with LGBT people.
6. Mentors with a match: confirm your availability when informed of your match
