Abstract

This paper will briefly expound on how a teacher preparation program, at an Historically Black College and University (HBCU), pairs graduate research assistants with mentors to support their development as teachers-in-training and burgeoning researchers. We will focus on the Black women who serve as graduate research assistants and explore how mentoring can be used as a tool to support their growth and development in academic environments. The author and co-author of this paper will serve as an example of the mentor-mentee relationship.
