The Canadian Distributed Mentor Project (CDMP), is a program to encourage undergraduate women in computer science and computer engineering to go to graduate school. It matches female students who have finished their second or third year of undergraduate studies with female professors for a summer of research and mentoring. It awards $3,500 to ten recipients of the award to supplement an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) in universities, which provides $4,500 (+ travel). Thus, each student will receive a total of $8,000 (+ travel) for 16 weeks of work. In addition, $1000 is awarded to each mentor, to offset research and mentoring costs.

I'm spending my summer at Queen's University in the beautiful city of Kingston conducting research on robotics with my mentor Dr. Janice Glasgow. For further information about me, my mentor and my project please go to the links on the left side of the page. Thank you for visiting.
