“…Mentor serves as a wise, responsible and trusted advisor who guides Odysseus's development (Miller 2002). Despite its long history, there is currently an absence of a widely accepted definition (Dickey 1996;Johnson 1989;Miller 2002;Rodriguez 1995;Zimmerman and Danette 2007) and a lack of theory to explain what roles and functions are involved in a mentoring experience and how these experiences are perceived by college students (Jacobi 1991;Haring 1999;Merriam 1983;Philip and Hendry 2000).…”

“…First, researchers have concurred that mentoring relationships are focused on the growth and accomplishment of an individual and include several forms of assistance (Chao et al 1992;Cullen and Luna 1993;Ehrich et al 2004;Haring 1999;Johnson and Nelson 1999). Second, there is general consensus that a mentoring experience may include broad forms of support including assistance with professional and career development (Brown et al 1999;Campbell and Campbell 1997;Chao et al 1992;Davidson and Foster-Johnson 2001;Kram 1985), role modeling (Brown et al 1999), and psychological support (Chao et al 1992;Cullen and Luna 1993;Davidson and Foster-Johnson 2001;Green and Bauer 1995;Kram and Isabella 1985;Levinson et al 1978).…”

In response to the mounting national support provided to mentoring programs and initiatives in higher education, the present article updates a review article written by Jacobi (Rev Educ Res 61(4): 1991). The article revisits the mentoring literature in an attempt to re-frame and update the definition and characteristics of mentoring provided by Jacobi. It also synthesizes and critically analyzes empirical literature specific to mentoring college students published between 1990 and 2007. Finally, the article presents broad theoretical perspectives of mentoring from the business, psychology and education literature in preface to a proposed theoretical framework specific to mentoring college students. The article concludes with specific recommendations to advance the mentoring literature.

“Take the Fifth”: Mentoring Students Whose Cultural Communities Were Not Historically Structured Into U.S. Higher Education

This article presents a description of the African Atlantic Research Team as exemplary of ten years of successful mentoring of undergraduate and graduate university students who are focused on a Ph.D in disciplines traditionally associated with academic research and teaching. The team is distinctive because it is multi-disciplinary in composition, the majority of its members are from communities historically excluded from structures of U.S. higher education, and its activities focus on members working collaboratively and collectively through most areas of their academic learning and socialization. Though the numbers of this case study are small, 95% of team members successfully completed their bachelor's degree with majors that facilitate their application for graduate study in disciplines linked to academic research, writing, and university instruction. These undergraduate majors differ from those focusing upon social problems or applied or professional majors. Eighty percent of the team members applied for graduate study, and only one did not attend graduate school.

“…There is a long, rich tradition within academe of using networking mentoring as a strategy for bringing women together for their mutual benefit and support (Haring, 1999;Swoboda & Millar, 1986). Defined as "an ever-changing series of dyadic contacts in which each person plays the role of mentor or mentee to differing degrees in each dyad" networking mentoring is an empowering strategy that has been successful in assisting women with academic progress both as faculty members and students (Swoboda & Millar, 1986, p. 11).…”

National Council for Research on Women finds that much of the progress that women have made in science, engineering, and technology has stalled or eroded. As we enter the new millennium, there will be an increasing need for a scientifically and technologically literate workforce. A student organization, Women in Technology, was formed at Purdue University-West Lafayette in 1998 in response to data indicating that there had been no increase in the number of women enrolled in the University's School of Technology over the past five years. Such data were consistent with those produced by national studies indicating that the trend of increasing numbers of women enrolling in engineering, science, and technology programs in American colleges and universities, established in the preceding two decades, had ceased. The aim of Women in Technology was to attract more women to the School, and reduce the attrition rate of women already in the program by serving as a well-recognized, formal context in which they could receive mentoring and in which they could find stable social support to help them achieve their academic and career objectives. This article discusses an overview of the organization, the results of a survey of members' undergraduate classroom experiences, student-generated strategies for addressing the concerns revealed in the survey, and the implementation of those strategies.
