“Today references to Mentoiring can be seen all around us. Mentoring is a method for assisting the personal development and encouragement of others. It is an interpersonal and intentional connection between individuals. Recent research on mentoring suggests that, Intense mentoring relationships generally predict politcal savvy, more advanced professional skills, higher levels of research productivity, and greater career advancement.”

(Boice, 2000; Bova, 1995; Gaff & Simpson, 1994; Johnsrud & Atwater, 1993; Zachary, 2002).
