Higher Education Research Studies Career Development and Diversity Mentoring and Academic Development

Abstract

This research examines students' interpretations of their experiences with mentoring in federal TRIO programs. Drawing on interviews with 20 student participants in Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Center, and Veterans Upward Bound programs, analysis of the data suggests that formal mentoring relationships have the potential to impact students' decisions to attend, satisfaction with, and motivation to persist in postsecondary education. A critical analysis considers the roles mentoring can play in helping underrepresented students negotiate higher education environments.
