Abstract

This special edition of National Mentoring Research Center (NMRC) e-Newsletter features some insights from Dr. Bernadette Sánchez and Yesenia Garcia-Murillo about the importance of racial, ethnic, and cultural background similarity for some mentoring relationships; summarizes some new research articles produced by members of the NMRC Research Board and other scholars; and offers information about a new NMRC publication on cultural humility training for mentors. The quarterly special issues also answer questions from the field about mentoring research, including research-based insights about mentoring or issues of mentor program design or evaluation. Sections include featured article summaries with links to full reports; news of new mentoring research; and recent Research Board publications and tools, with links.
