Reference and Research Book News
The reader fortunate enough to come in contact with Carol Mullen's new book, A Graduate Student Guide, will soon realize that the text is so written as to function as a mentor in and of itself. Through an opening case scenario, each chapter explores some aspect of mentoring in higher education and includes lessons learned, practical, reflective exercises, and a glossary of terms for engaging the material. And like a good mentor, the warmth and support of the author radiates from the pages. Regardless of one's role in the academy or how experienced in mentoring one may or may not be, there is much to be learned in this exceedingly readable, yet well-researched guide to mentorship. In short, Dr. Mullen demystifies graduate education for both students and faculty as she explores 'the process of becoming successfully mentored and of mentoring effectively' (p. 167). This book is a 'must read' for new graduate students and for faculty dedicated to facilitating academic progress and professional development.
