Subject: Mentoring
Folks,

It's interesting that the issue of "mentoring" has been raised in concert
with the discussion of Coleman's apologia for sociology.  I can't remenber
how the two became intermingled but want to suggest that we think about
the issue of "mentoring" as the topic of a more formal disussion.  In
the March 10, 1993 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, there is an
Opinion article written by Bernice Sandler, a senior associate with the
Center for Women Policy Studies and editor of a newsletter "About Women
on Campus."  The title of her Opinion article is "Women as Mentors:  Myths
and Commandments."  Her article is only one printed page of text and includes
some admonishments that may be of some value to us all.

Interested?  If so, let's set a date, say April 8th to begin our discussion of
Sandler's article with a general understanding that the discussion can include
more than a simple "reaction" to her opinions.

What do you think?

P.S.  Where's the dessert food?  I brought sliced mangos and kiwi fruit for
the virtual meal but it was all eaten before I got to that "station" on the
table.  Anyone planning to bring any sweets to the meal?
