Abstract: This article introduces the reader to literature, ideas, and processes the authors have used in mentoring graduate students and junior faculty of color, including women. The writing is based on an integrative review of literature engaging mentoring processes and the authors’ collective experiences as they have worked to guide members of a mentoring collective as well as domestic graduate students and junior faculty from the above populations. Goals of our mentoring efforts are to provide graduate students and junior faculty who are from U.S. cultural communities historically excluded from higher education with experiences that help them complete the PhD and develop professional academic careers that are successful and have impact in their chosen disciplinary arena. The article presents a mentoring process model that prepares individuals for professional careers that integrate the work of knowledge production in research, teaching, and service that embraces the cultural heritages of the mentees’ background.
