found mentors on their own; a small number (16.3 percent) had mentors
assigned to them. Respondents voiced a willingness to serve as
mentors “under the right circumstances” (24.5 percent), and about
three quarters had already done so, most (61.2 percent) informally
or as assigned mentors for junior faculty (14.3 percent). No respondents
stated they had no interest in mentoring.
