How to Use This Guide

Abstract

This book is structured to provide overviews and perspectives on a variety of topics and issues relating to being mentored in the diverse fields encompassed by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It is not meant to be read cover to cover, but rather to serve as a handbook in times of need when a few moments of reflection and perspective would be highly useful. Some will find many topics of interest and relevance, while others may find only a few items that guide them to a fuller grasp of what to expect in mentoring relationships.
