Abstract

Research has demonstrated that good mentoring is a key factor in determining success in a doctoral program. As a result, graduate mentoring programs are appearing with increasing frequency. Congress has funded the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program to increase representation in doctoral study. Targeted groups include low-income, first-generation college students, and students from groups underrepresented in graduate education. Central Missouri State University's McNair program (McCAP) utilizes librarians as part of a mentoring team. The mentoring team is used to guide participants through four levels of activities: foundation, mentoring, internship, and transition. Librarian involvement provides advantages for the student as well as other faculty members involved with the mentoring team.
