Who needs a mentor? We pose a bigger, better question: Who doesn't need a mentor? We all know that mentoring provides help early in a career, but effective mentoring can happen at every career stage, across time zones and even international borders, and over many years. Mentors and mentees in academia and other fields of endeavor need the tools to develop and maintain these critical relationships They need the skills to address important workplace issues such as appropriate behavior, generational differences, and justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Wherever and however good mentoring happens, it's always a two-way street, an opportunity for both mentor and mentee to learn and grow.
