Iโm not sure I really knew what a mentoring relationship entailed when I was at university. My professors, parents, and friends supported. In retrospect, however, I would have benefited from the unique support a mentor provides.
To help break down some of these barriers, this article outlines what it means to be a mentor, the different types of mentors, and how to grow a mentoring relationship.

Each year on March 8th International Womenโs Day is celebrated globally. The day honors the many political, socio-economic, and cultural achievements of women. It also increases awareness about womenโs equality and advocates for gender parity.
Higher education institutions provide women with a platform for advancing equity for female students. Further, student clubs and organizations provide women with opportunities to influence life on campus. These include event programming, advocacy, and student government positions.
Womenโs communities on campus also provide members with the opportunity to build a sense of belonging, which is known to contribute to higher retention rates. They also foster the acquisition of life skills, including communication, leadership, and teamwork, which transcend the college experience.
