Mentoring Programs
One of the NSF objectives is to implement strategies to increase female enrollment and retention in the CAD programs. To address that objective Moraine Valley Community College developed a dual Mentoring Program to attain the following goals:

• Develop a supportive environment for women students by assigning mentors from fellow students, faculty, and industry professionals in CAD fields.
• Provide guidance to students through the mentors who are serving as role models both in academic and professional issues.
• Provide career networking opportunities.
