They're My Life Advisory Board: Latinx/a/o Mid-Level Student Affairs Administrators' Mentoring Experiences
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v59 n4 p419-434 2022
This article explores the mentoring networks for 34 mid-level Latinx/a/o student affairs administrators who aspire to senior leadership roles. Findings indicate that (a) most participants have entrepreneurial developmental networks; (b) participants with mentors gained career and psychosocial functions, including forms of community cultural wealth; and (c) participants without mentors were uncomfortable seeking support. By focusing on Latinx/a/o mid-level administrators, senior-level leaders can create mentorship strategies to retain and empower Latinx/a/o leadership pathways in higher education.
