Relatedly, mentorship in post-secondary education has the opportunity to critically shape graduate students' research training, professional identity, and socialization into the academe. Thus, the purpose of this chapter was to explore as an implication of practice, establishing a taxonomy of mentoring professional graduate students. This chapter was guided by the following contemplative question: How can a taxonomy of mentorship enhance professional graduate students' educational experience? Drawing on existing literature, the author investigated the mentoring relationship, the potential impact on professional graduate students, then concluded with mentoring strategies and important implications for practice.
