The Dory Yochum Scholarship
MentorNet to award $5000 to an outstanding woman protege in STEM
MentorNet announced today
that it will award $5000 to an outstanding woman protege in honor of
its long time champion and Chair of the Board of Directors, Dory S.
Yochum.
On
December 5,
2010, MentorNet was profoundly saddened to lose Dory. She worked for
32 years at AT&T Labs, rising to the position of Vice-President and
Chief Operations Officer. She also served on the Board of Fraser
Research and as Chief Administrative Officer of PalmSource. Dory was a
leader in research and technology and an exemplar for our protégés and
mentors. To honor and promote her legacy, MentorNet has launched this
first annual Dory S. Yochum Scholarship.
To be eligible, a
candidate must be a woman currently pursuing any postsecondary degree
in any field of science, technology, engineering or math at a partnering campus or society and a current or former protege of MentorNet.
