Prompted to discover what makes a good graduate student supervisor, scholars from two large research universities conducted a qualitative study in which alumni of the institutions' student affairs preparation programs were asked to nominate exceptional supervisors they had as graduate students. Nominated supervisors were invited to interview and…

Although data has shown that psychology graduate programs are actively recruiting an increased number of Students of Color, there is limited evidence that these programs are able to adequately support these students once they arrive. The purpose of the current study was to examine how Latiné graduate students' experiences of microaggressions from…

Limited research is available regarding doctoral-level students who serve as supervisors to counselors-in-training (CITs), making it difficult to understand the role doctoral students play in supervision with CITs. There is even less research available regarding doctoral-level student supervisors addressing the wellness of CITs in supervision.…

On-campus student employment is a strategy that higher education institutions can leverage to reduce financial barriers for students while engaging them in meaningful learning experiences. The intersection of on-campus student employment with the role of the work supervisor may be the framework that allows campuses to address multiple needs with…

Past studies on doctoral education have mostly focused on the critical role of supervisors in students' research experience. However, the role of peers has been relatively neglected. It is not clear how both supervisors and peers contribute to doctoral students' research experience. One possibility is that they are additive, which means that both…

This article is a product of a study that deployed a qualitative research approach to examine what motivates students in Tanzania to undertake postgraduate studies, and the causes of late completion of such studies. A total of 47 participants were involved in this study through focused group discussions and semi-structured interviews. The results…

We describe our experiences with the first offering of a new program, BMEntored, for supporting first-year doctoral students in Biomedical Engineering (BME) during their first semester. The goal of BMEntored was to enhance the first-semester experience of first-year doctoral students in BME with an emphasis on guiding students in selecting a…

Social justice is a paramount concept in counseling and supervision, yet limited research exists examining this idea in practice. To fill this research gap, we conducted a qualitative case study exploring supervisee experiences in social justice supervision and identified three themes from the participants' experiences: intersection of supervision…

This qualitative study explored the supervision practices of graduate assistant supervisors at two large research institutions. Six themes emerged as best practices: graduate assistant supervisors took a student-centered approach, provided thorough training, cultivated a learning-focused experience, established effective communication, built…

South African universities have evidenced exponential increases in the numbers of doctoral students, bringing pressure to bear upon traditional supervisory practice. With the literature on the challenges experienced by international postgraduate students at South African universities being very limited, it was anticipated that the challenges…

In Australia, much like other colonized locations such as Canada, New Zealand, and the USA, the colonial legacies embedded within higher education institutions, including the history of exclusion and the privileging of Western epistemologies, continue to make universities challenging places for Indigenous PhD scholars. Despite this, and while the…

This article reports of a study of workplace supervision and student experiences and outcomes through insights from semi-structured interviews with 21 graduates who had previously supervised work placement students.
