Abstract

Participants included 185 first-generation college students assessed during their senior year on quality of faculty mentoring, sense of life purpose, and wellbeing via an online survey. Results indicated that quality of mentoring was significantly correlated with life purpose and wellbeing, although it did not function as a mediator.
