Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of the Mentoring Workshops for students and faculty. College student and faculty participants’ perceptions of competencies, abilities, beliefs, and attitudes through the study university’s mentoring workshops were reported. The studies were exploratory in nature, leading the investigators to conduct pre-post surveys. Findings suggested that students and faculty had a positive perception of the mentoring workshops’ effectiveness. Faculty provided suggestions, such as making the workshops longer, providing case studies, and holding future mentoring workshops, were reported for enhancing the effectiveness of the mentoring workshops.
