The Trust is also sponsoring a major initiative this fall, called the Science Mentors Program, which was established last spring with a donation from Karen Gordon Mills '75.

Fox is spearheading the program, which will assign participants concentrating in science a mentor from their department.

The program will grant graduate students a stipend for mentoring undergraduates and aims to attract and retain the number of women science concentrators at Harvard.

Fox said the program is in its planning stages, but she expects it to be up and running next semester.

Faculty members will likely nominate graduate students for the mentoring posts, Fox said, and their stipends will be paid from Mills' donation.

The Science Mentors Program is a replacement for the now defunct Radcliffe Science Alliance that brought first-year women students interested in science to campus a week before orientation for seminars and speeches.

All of Radcliffe's ties with undergraduates were severed when the former women's college merged with Harvard last October.
