Here's the plan for the AWM Mentor Network.

 We match mentors with girls/women who are interested in
mathematics and/or are pursuing careers in mathematics. The idea
of the network is that even if the mentors don't know all of 
the answers, it's likely that they can point their advisees in
the right direction or connect them with the right person.

To get started, please answer the few simple questions below.
We will match you up with a mathematician who has volunteered
as a mentor, according to the general area of interest you indicate. 

 So please take a few minutes to answer the questions below and return
by email to me at:

 rachel@math.umn.edu  

Please do not hesitate to send me any comments, questions, or suggestions about
this new AWM mentor network. Since this is a new program, any input will be appreciated!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
