- As
she strives to grow flawless crystalline films in a reactor,
- the
imperfections, magnified by a Nikon microscope up to
- 1,000
times, fascinate her. View Dr. Gherasimova's glimpses

- WISAY
Mentoring Program:
- EnvE
graduate student Sharon
Walker
and Ms.
Sandra Yulke,
- Engineering
Development Officer, are mentors in the Women
- in
the Sciences at Yale program, WISAY. A student fills out
- a
questionnaire, is matched with a mentor with similar
- interests,
and the two women meet once or twice a month
- to
talk about the undergraduate's studies, choices of future
- careers,
grad school, etc. WISAY also hosts events for all
- participants
in the mentoring program. If interested,
- contact
<ann.miller@yale.edu>

- Never
seen it written?
- When
you hit it off just right, you have great "rapport"
- (it's
a French word).
