Campbell, Toni A.; Campbell, David E.
Research in Higher Education, v38 n6 p727-42 Dec 1997
In a study of the effectiveness of a faculty/student mentoring program at a large urban university, 339 undergraduate students assigned to mentors were matched with nonmentored students based on gender, ethnicity, grade point average (GPA), and entering enrollment status. Results showed a higher GPA, more units completed per semester, and lower dropout rate for mentored students. (Author/MSE)
