School-based mentoring (SBM) is any intervention that takes place within the school building that connects young people with an adult. In contrast to community-based mentoring, mentor-mentee matches in SBM programs typically meet for shorter periods of time (e.g., one hour per week instead of four hours per week), have a shorter duration, and set…

E-mentoring has, until recently, constituted a fairly small niche of the programmatic mentoring landscape. But nothing has spurred the adoption of virtual mentoring services more than the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020. Almost overnight, the nation's mentoring programs faced an uncertain future in which their main objective…

For many years, those who work in the mentoring field have wondered how they can extend the impact of their programs beyond the benefits experienced by young people they serve.

In higher education, online students are often precluded from research assistantships that are more accessible for campus-based students. At a highly ranked institution for online learning, we developed the Undergraduate Research Program (URP) to address this gap in opportunities for online students. The URP is designed to engage fully distanced…

One often overlooked challenge of undergraduate research (UR) is access to information. Growing student diversity, including first-generation students, and increasing calls for a better-trained workforce suggest that higher education should be providing more support for UR. The authors propose that higher education needs cost-effective, impactful…

As the enrollment of students with intellectual disability in colleges and universities increases, so does the need to evaluate existing postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disability from multiple perspectives.
