  • Mentoring Diverse Doctoral Students

    The International Journal Diversity in Organizations, Communities, & Nations

    American Universities are facing very high doctoral student attrition rates. Many doctoral students complete their coursework; however, drop out during their dissertation. Mentoring was identified as a need among doctoral students; however, as the doctoral student population continues to grow in diversity, mentoring has become increasingly more challenging to do.

  • Mentoring Diverse Populations

    Linus Publishing, Inc.

    Mentoring is an evolving relationship of joy, learning, frustration, growth, wisdom and reflection. It is a journey, much like the growth of this book on Mentoring. As academic faculty members, we graduate with enthusiasm and enter into a profession, where the opportunities for mentoring are waiting silently, and sometimes very loudly. Throughout this book, we sought to explore, re-examine, and reflect upon the diverse needs, functions, roles, benefits and challenges of mentoring. Equally, we hope to communicate a sense of excitement, opportunity, inquiry, and satisfaction to those who are evolving as mentors, and those who desire to be mentored. As faculty members committed to issues of diversity, we are excited about sharing our insights, research, and work in this book.
