Finding and Being a Mentor through a Lifetime
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mentor has roots in Greek mythology. Its current practitioners have lent their own interpretation and meaning by their actions. We offer the case studies and lived experience of a select group who have never met all the others. Each asked the same questions, they tell the story of how each found their mentor(s), try to be mentors themselves, and what they try to impart to their mentees through the vicissitudes of their professional responsibilities and personal lives over a career.
