These stories are presented to elucidate the mentoring process and to provide new perspectives on theories of academic and social integration. Particular attention is given to race-specific aspects of these mentoring relationships. Findings suggest that assigned or formal mentoring relationships move through phases of development that are similar to those of unassigned mentoring relationships. The development of trust in such relationships takes time and can have a significant effect on the academic integration of African American students at predominantly White institutions. Findings show that those engaged in formal mentoring can have valuable input to enhance education programming for students of color. (Contains 36 refere...

The academy has adapted the corporate model of mentoring in order to enhance the academic, personal and professional success of African American and other students of color, particularly those enrolled in Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). The institutionalization of formal or assigned mentoring practices in PWIs has sought to positively influence the undergraduate experiences (e.g., retention; degree completion; and satisfaction with college life) of African American and other students of color. This study examined the mentoring experiences of African American students involved in a formal mentoring program in place for students of color at a large research university in the Midwestern region of the United Sta...
