"Woman on Campus" monthly interview
WMW profiles students, faculty, postdocs and staff. If you are interested in
interviewing a faculty member, student or staff member on campus who you
think has a unique career path or mentoring story, please email us at
wmw at yale.edu.  To view this month's interview with Kate Ott, go to

Women Mentoring Women Database
This searchable WMW Database (http://bin.yale.edu/~mrs52/wff.html) allows
women graduate students and post-docs to connect with women faculty, staff,
and advanced post-docs and establish formal mentoring relationships. The
database lists women faculty interested in serving as mentors, and also
lists women graduate students looking for mentors. Potential mentors and
mentees can enter their departmental affiliation, research interests, and
contact information in this database. Women graduate students can then
search the women faculty listings for possible mentors. Women faculty can
also search the student listings and may find these helpful in locating
graduate help for conferences, symposia, and research assistance.
