Abstract:

Faculty and graduate students were surveyed to gain their perceptions regarding the current and ideal role of the graduate student faculty mentor. While faculty and graduate students generally agreed on the ideal role of a faculty mentor, there were several differences between the current and ideal role perceptions as indicated by the graduate students. In order to more closely approximate the ideal role, faculty should be more supportive in helping graduate students develop important skills.
