Chapters include real-world examples, tips, and interviews and content backed by current evidence and research. This reference discusses the benefits and challenges of building a mentoring relationship and highlights noteworthy topics such as mentoring minorities and women and mentoring to achieve change. The book's author is the recipient of the Leading Diversity Award from the National Cancer Institute, and the foreword of the book will be written by the recipient of the AAAS Mentor Award in 2009, Luis Colón, for his deep commitment to advancing diversity in the chemical sciences.
