WHERE DOES THE NAME MOBIUS COME FROM?
Mobius is actually the last name of an astronomer and mathematician who defined the Mobius strip in 1859. A one sided, one edged continuous strip of paper with a 180 degree twist in the center, it is an infinite loop, a continuous circle of connection. The Mobius strip has been used in magic, science, engineering, literature, music, art, and now, mentoring. For our purpose, Mobius is the name of our umbrella organization which represents the continuous connection between the mentor and his/her protégé. Like an actual Mobius, the mentor and his/her match are connected in a loop of infinite dialogue and learning, so that we better understand ourselves and gain strength by facing our challenges together. Mobius also represents a continuous connection to the community through mentoring. The Mobius name and logo were the creation of Michael Jager, of Jager, DiPaola, Kemp Design, who was a founding member of the Mobius board.
