Mentoring programs for education doctoral (EdD) students are unique due to the scholar-practitioner nature of the degree program. This paper utilizes mentor perceptions of a mentoring program in its second year of implementation to inform the design of the mentoring program in the future. Mentors were interviewed to discuss their experiences. Four themes emerged related to: (1) mentor education doctoral experiences and challenges as inspiration for their mentoring presentations; (2) mentors as a resource through networking and building connections; (3) mentor and mentee reflection through relatable experiences; and (4) mentor recommendations for improving the EdD mentoring program. Results indicate mentors benefit from personal reflection and networking opportunities.
