Increasing the Quality of Mentoring Through Perspective-Taking

The module is part of a joint study between Pollinate and The University of Alabama to explore the impact of professional development based on these vignettes. The hypothesis is that sharing these stories improves the use and efficacy of perspective taking and ultimately improves mentor-mentee relationships and
graduate student success. The stories are embedded in a bias reduction strategies module.

Present challenges of Black students as they journey through graduate school
Authentic stories from recent PhD graduates are collected and re-enacted
