"Mentoring and advising are crucial. Robust models must be scalable and not dependent upon a single individual. They must allow us to capitalize more effectively on the relationships that individuals have developed and the cultural competence developed in different parts of our community. Success will also require development of more cultural competence on the part of advisers, mentors, and faculty."
