The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between mentors and mentees as participants in a year-long Faculty of Color (FOC) mentoring program as well as benefits gained by the two groups. The FOC program was designed with the concept to pair seasoned FOC with new FOC and implemented at one institution from a recent academic year. The final pairing resulted in 18 participants in the program (nine who served as FOC mentors and nine who served as FOC mentees). Program data included a mid-year questionnaire and a final survey completed by both mentors and mentees. Results indicate high levels of satisfaction by mentees who acquired a range of benefits such as learning institutional culture, the promotion and tenure process, pertinent career advice, and having the opportunity to share perspectives with another FOC. Mentors also reported enjoyment and interaction with their mentees and the value of providing professional guidance to mentees as they gain clarity as to what counts in the academy.
