Giving Back to the Profession: Reflections Related to Mentoring Support and Success
Langston, Randall
College and University, v93 n2 p35-38 May 2018
Author Randall Langston feels that mentoring should never be viewed as a chore but rather a dynamic and transformational opportunity to impact a student's life. Often, the legacy that some people leave is the professional relationships they have forged with others. In fact, it's not unusual to hear keynote and other conference presentations in which the speakers describe how their mentors helped shape who they are today. Here Langston reflects on his more than two decades of work in higher education, and says that mentoring is a privilege, and that he will continue to treasure his relationships with his mentees throughout his career.
