Prospective Faculty Mentors

Welcome and thank you for your interest in P2P!

Our program is powered through a partnership between HBCU graduate students and California Community College faculty mentors. Our accomplished and innovative faculty mentors represent many different backgrounds and interests, yielding a range of intellectual opportunities, supported by the resources of the California Community Colleges. The success of a P2P intern depends on establishing a trusted relationship with a faculty mentor who can guide the student’s interest and foster the student’s professional development. The P2P program appreciates and honors the contributions and commitment of its faculty mentors.

“Serving as a P2P mentor for the past two years has been an amazing experience to say the least. The intentional efforts of the program to prepare prospective faculty of color for positions within the California Community College system is remarkable. As a faculty of color who serves in this system of higher education, I know and understand why work such as this is vital not only for potential faculty members but also for the students who attend colleges within this system. What I find most rewarding about my experience is that I have the opportunity to give back to my community by sharing my experiences with hopes that those experiences are providing a foundational framework to those that I reach. Additionally, I love being a part of an innovative movement, P2P, grounded in the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
