Mentoring in International and Graduate Education
Thu, April 9, 2:15 to 3:45pm PDT (2:15 to 3:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Petree DSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This session examines mentoring in international and graduate contexts, with attention to program design, student transitions, and advising tools. One paper investigates how academic orientation structures shape the experiences of Chinese master’s students. Another analyzes hybrid mentoring models that integrate AI to support international STEM graduate students’ career planning, highlighting opportunities and cautions for implementation. A third study reviews mentoring initiatives across six Chilean universities to document quiet, cumulative program changes and their effects on student support. Together, the presentations offer practical strategies for aligning mentoring with institutional contexts, leveraging technology judiciously, and improving guidance during key graduate milestones.
