Abstract
Advancing Women of Color in STEM through Meaningful Mentoring presents an overview of relevant literature regarding mentoring in higher education, a description of the Jackson State University (JSU) ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Project, and a discussion of key observations from the JSU ADVANCE Mentoring Program. The insights on mentoring may be applied at other Historically Black Colleges and Universities to promote the effective retention, career advancement, and overall job satisfaction of women of color in STEM. Additionally, the key observations are examined as a foundation for recommending strategic actions that institutions, academic departments, colleagues, and individual women of color in STEM may take to create a robust culture of mentorship. This examination of the JSU ADVANCE Mentoring Program, therefore, positions women of color in STEM (at an HBCU in the South) at the intersection of conversations on designing mentoring that promotes career advancement and institutional transformation.
