Mentoring Students of Color
Dr. Steve Taylor, Professor of Marketing in the College of Business at Illinois State University, is the faculty mentor for students of color for the Department of Marketing. He is also available to mentor students of color from other departments within the College of Business.
What is a faculty mentor?
A mentor's role is to be available as a resource for students who have questions or otherwise wish to discuss their experiences at Illinois State. Students of color face many unique sociocultural challenges associated with completing their college education. Dr. Taylor's mission is to do whatever he can to ensure that every student of color who comes to Illinois State, and the College of Business in particular, graduates with his/her degree.
