Abstract
Using a qualitative case study design, this study focused on the outcomes of a formal mentoring program among six community colleges in California. The successful experiences of mentors and mentees in the program, as well as special characteristics related to a formal multi-college mentoring program, were examined. The impact of community college organizational and cultural structure in such a mentoring relationship was discussed as well. Based on the findings, the researchers provided suggestions and recommendations for a successful mentee-mentor relationship in a formal community college mentoring program.
