Many colleges and universities informally highlight the value of mentoring among academic professionals. Yet scholars often lack clear definitions, goals, practices, and commitments that help them actually reap the benefits mentoring offers. As new faculty members from younger generations continue to face evolving challenges while also reshaping institutions, their ability to connect with more experienced mentors is critical to their vocations-and to the future of higher education. In Cultivating Mentors, a distinguished group of contributors explores the practice of mentoring in Christian higher education. Drawing on traditional theological understandings of the mentee-mentor relationship, they consider what goals should define such relationships and what practices make their cultivation possible among educators. With special attention to generational dynamics, they discuss how mentoring can help institutions navigate generational faculty transitions and cultivate rising leaders. Contributors include:

David Kinnaman Tim Clydesdale Margaret Diddams Edgardo Colon-Emeric Rebecca C. Hong Tim Elmore Beck A. Taylor Stacy A. Hammons

This book offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for faculty members, administrators, and policy makers. Whether pursuing their vocation in Christian or secular institutions, Christian scholars will benefit from the sharing of wisdom mapped out in Cultivating Mentors.

Reviews for Cultivating Mentors – Sharing Wisdom in Christian Higher Education

"""Cultivating Mentors illustrates multiple ways to establish a healthy ecosystem for relational mentoring in an increasingly diverse academic landscape. With a focus on faculty flourishing and student success in the contexts of rapidly changing academic and professional environments, this timely volume directs educators to practical tools for cultivating faith and vocational discernment in tandem with fostering a powerful sense of faith-based community on their university campuses."" Karen A. Lee, provost and professor of English at Wheaton College ""This book is aimed especially at leaders of Christian higher education, who in an age of digitization and diversity are recruiting the next generation of teacher-scholars for their schools. The contributors ground their assessment in a theology of vocation, they are alert to the changing culture of contemporary young adults, and they offer hard-won wisdom concerning the institutional dynamics of colleges and universities. Careful attention to theory seasoned by numerous specific examples make for unusually compelling reading."" Mark A. Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History Emeritus, University of Notre Dame"
