A Major Mentor
Students reflect on the importance of discovering a mentor who looks like them at Mizzou.
Antoinette Landor believes that mentoring in college has the power to change a student’s world view and life trajectory. It happened to her.
“It showed me a world I wouldn’t have seen had I not had those mentoring relationships,” said Landor, an associate professor and Millsap Professor of Diversity and Multicultural Studies in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at the University of Missouri. She also is co-founder and director of the Center for Body Image Research and Policy.
Landor, who arrived at Mizzou six years ago, always knew mentoring students would be a part of who she would be as a professor. It’s become her life’s passion.
