Abstract
This chapter explores mentoring in the situated contexts of teaching and learning, research, administration and its leadership and offers some insights into concepts which have proved useful to the author in practice and in development and support of mentors. It is based on the corollary that effective mentoring processes play a significant role in developing resilience in students and university staff, making them more effective in a turbulent, much changing, world of employment.
