Research in the U.S. presents challenges for international graduate students (IGSs) with limited research opportunities, language barriers, diverse writing systems, and cultural differences. This session highlights a conceptual understanding of extending research mentorship using a cultural humility lens and Social Cognitive Career Theory (Lent et al., 1994) for IGSs. Culturally responsive research mentorship elevates scholarly engagement and successful completion of comprehensive research projects (dissertations), prepares future scholars, and advances research knowledge in the CCES field.
