The study focuses on the experiences of 10 African American male college mentors at Indiana State University, exploring the benefits of their participation in the Student African American Male Mentor Program. Through semi-structured interviews and a focus group, key themes emerged, highlighting the personal significance of mentoring.

Mentoring also facilitated connections with campus leaders, countering feelings of isolation and negative peer influences.
