Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide insight into the needs for faculty members across faculty lines at HBCUs; provide implications for not engaging in mentorship for junior and senior level faculty; identify the impact that lack of mentorship has on the institution as an entity and to a degree, the community; and provide solutions and recommendations for those interested in the implications for lack of mentorship across faculty lines at HBCUs. The conclusion is that while both HBCU literature and culture have been reviewed, additional research is required to provide an effective solution.
