1. Identify how cultural beliefs, worldviews, and identities influence mentoring practices.

2. Recognize how cultural diversity can impact research mentoring relationships.

3. Acknowledge the impact of conscious and unconscious assumptions, privilege, stereotype threat, and biases in the mentor-mentee relationship.

4. Use culturally responsive mentoring principles as a guide in talking about cultural diversity matters with mentees.
