Mentoring Affirmations and Interventions: A Bridge to Graduate School for Latina/o Students
Luna, Veronica; Prieto, Linda
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v8 n2 p213-224 2009
Using individual interviews, this study examined how a group of Latina/o undergraduate students in Texas considered graduate studies. Findings reveal that familial support, perceived community responsibility, and their participation in a mentoring program all played a considerable role in demystifying graduate studies. Implications support the notion that mentoring relationships can effectively create a bridge towards graduate education for underrepresented student populations.
