Abstract
Graduate school is a time of much distress, wrought with financial, personal, and academic difficulties. Despite such common struggles of graduate studies, minority doctoral students have unique challenges related to their oppressed identities. Thus, relational mentoring, through feminist and Relational Cultural approaches can better support racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities.
