Mentoring in a changing academy: why not? Part III.
Do women need mentors, and do they know how to make and keep these relationships? A group called Illinois Women Administrators set out to find answers.
Having benefited from mentoring relationships themselves, Dr. Linda Searby and Dr. Jenny Tripses, along with the group's board, organized a conference specifically to help women administrators learn about mentoring. "Mentoring can either maintain or break the status quo of organizations," they said, and has "traditionally served to keep dominant white males in power."
They discussed the results at the University of Nebraska's Women in Educational Leadership conference in Lincoln in October 2005. Both are assistant professors in educational leadership, Searby at the University of Alabama and Tripses at Bradley University IL.
Forty female campus leaders attended the weekend mentoring conference. Participants learned the benefits of networking with women, heard inspirational stories and shared personal experiences. Balanced between structured sessions and time for networking, it enabled them to reflect on their aspirations, understand mentoring and consider such a relationship.

What is mentoring?
Tripses and Searby defined mentoring as a personal learning partnership between a more experienced professional who acts as a guide, role model, coach, teacher and/or sponsor and a less experienced one, with benefits for both.
