Emerging Leaders in Technology and Engineering
Participation is highly encouraged. E-Mentoring During the Fall 2004 semester, MERRP introduced an electronic mentoring program designed to connect UIC engineering undergraduates with engineering professionals throughout the Chicago area and beyond. A mentor provides support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and a constructive example. Mentors are trusted advisors or teachers who care and want to help others bring out strengths that are already there. In today's busy world, face-to-face meetings are not always possible. Through e-mentoring, students will have the opportunity to be mentored by an engineering professional by way of frequent emails during the school year. - Mentor Information - Mentee Information Engineering Student organizations MERRP is supportive of student organizations. We encourage students to work together to accomplish their academic and professional goals. Current student groups that meet occasionally are:

Emerging
Leaders in Technology & Engineering (E.L.I.T.E), a peer mentor
program, was implemented in Fall 1994 to provide encouragement and
support to freshmen and transfer students in the first semester
in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The overall goal of ELITE is to support underrepresented students
in building confidence through supporting relationships and to develop
skills to succeed in engineering. All new students to engineering
are invited to participate in ELITE to help make the first semester
more personable and meaningful.
