We've heard from many women that mentors are essential to their flourishing, both personally and professionally. In this column at The Well, our team of mentors seeks to answer real questions posed by women graduate students, professionals, and faculty. We hope that you find encouragement and insight for your own lives in their replies.

Learn more about our mentors by reading their bios.

Do you have a question for our Dear Mentor column?

Send it to Marcia Bosscher, editor for The Well, and we may ask our mentors to address it.
