Abstract: Mentoring has been shown to effectively support the persistence of students in STEM fields. Yet despite existing mentoring research, there is a paucity of detailed work on how to mentor. In this session, Dr. Mondisa will share details from her evidence-based research on the mentoring practices and approaches of highly effective mentors and available mentoring resources.
