Education and Mentoring to Promote Opportunities of Wellbeing Equity & Resilience
About Us
EMPOWER is a research team led by undergraduate and graduate students, along with Dr. Lidia Monjaras Gaytan at Loyola University Chicago.
The research team is dedicated to a profound exploration of the educational and mentoring experiences of students hailing from marginalized backgrounds. Their focused inquiry delves into several critical aspects, including the manifold advantages of higher education and mentoring relationships for marginalized students, the intricate barriers that impede their academic success, and the dynamic evolution of mentoring relationships within this context.
