Acknowledgments
A project of this magnitude depends upon the generosity, dedication, and knowledge of a great many people. We wish to thank David Blakesley at Parlor Press, as well as Patricia Sullivan and Catherine Hobbs for supporting this collection. For editorial help and assistance, we are grateful to Delisa Mulkey at Georgia State University for her early assistance organizing both contributors and contributions and to Megan Roberts at East Carolina University for providing invaluable help with the index and final submission details. Finally, we wish to thank the seventy-six authors who religiously adhered to deadlines (even when we couldn’t), willingly revised and trimmed their pieces, and inevitably challenged our assumptions about mentoring theory and practice.
Michelle F. Eble: I would like to thank my colleagues and mentors in the Department of English at East Carolina University for their consistent support, willingness to collaborate, and inspiring conversations. I could not ask for a more collegial, smart group. In the course of editing this collection, Lynée was a fabulous collaborator and friend especially when a hurricane and my wedding took my attention away from this collection; I will always be grateful for her patience and wisdom. I also want to thank Shane and our web of family and friends for their support in anything and everything I do.
Lynée Lewis Gaillet: I wish to thank the Georgia State University College of Arts and Sciences and Department of English for their constant support over the years. I am also indebted to the scores of students who have mentored me over the last two decades. I have learned far more than I’ve taught, and I am constantly awed by my students’ knowledge, energy, perseverance, and drive. From my students, I have learned humility and the true meaning of what Eodice and Day label (first person) 2 collaboration. Finally, for their generosity and understanding when I’ve ironically ignored them to mentor others, I am forever grateful to my family—Philippe, Helen, John Rhodes, Charlotte, and Stormy.

1 Introduction
Lynée Lewis Gaillet
This collection seeks to define the current status of mentoring in the field of composition and rhetoric by providing both snapshots and candid descriptions of what that term means to those working in the discipline. Contributors offer a wide array of evidence and illustrations in an effort to define the scope of this ubiquitous and ambiguous term. In the pages of this collection, then, the reader will find program descriptions and critiques, testimonials and personal anecdotes, copies of correspondence and e-mail messages, term projects and assignments, accounts of forged friendships and peer relationships (some good; some bad), both new paradigms and familiar constructs for successful mentoring, tales of pregnancy and mothering, chronicles of both administrative nightmares and dream solutions, and stories giving insight into t
