This volume presents studies that provide an in-depth look at the experiences of proteges and mentors during the mentoring process in higher education settings. Within the volume are studies examining the effects of mentoring on individuals as well as those examining the perceptions and experiences of individuals involved in the mentoring process from the proteges and, in some cases, the mentors' perspectives. A major aspect of this volume is the true perspectives offered by many of the participants who were studied by the contributors to this volume. Their voices are real.
