-
This guide describes a number of models for student mentoring programs at the graduate level, their distinctive and innovative features, and considerations in developing a mentoring program. An introductory section looks at definitions of mentors and mentoring, and discusses the rationale for developing such programs for graduate students. Subsequent sections describe five programs designed to improve the graduate experience for both students and faculty. These include: (1) the Syracuse University (New York) Future Professoriate Project which includes faculty mentor seminars, a teaching associateship, and Certificates in University Teaching; (2) the University of Michigan graduate school program, which includes departmental visits, financial support, student group discussions, a publication concerning the doctoral student's experience, and the Mellon Graduate Education Improvement Project; (3) the Wayne State University (Michigan) program which includes annual meetings with newly-admitted doctoral students, guidance for faculty members, mentoring for minority students, faculty-student research projects, a research mentoring program for new faculty, and outstanding mentor awards; (4) the University of California at Berkeley program which provides assistance to mentors and advisors, encourages help-seeking, offers focus groups and monthly meetings, monitors academic advising, and provides dissertation- and proposal-writing workshops; and (5) the California State University at Fresno's institutionalization of faculty mentoring. A final section outlines activities, initiatives, and programs for departments, faculty, and students. (MSE)
