Reviews for Graduate Students in Transition: Assisting Students Through the First Year (First-Year Experience Monograph No. 50)

It is especially helpful in regards to master’s level students—particularly in the professional fields—where the classic systems of mentoring and apprenticeship are not long-standing.” —NACADA Journal
