| Abstract: | This article explores how two African American professors both “outsiders” to the inner workings of the academy created a
support system, which began nearly 10 years ago as a part of their formal advisee/advisor relationship. When they began their
relationship one was a junior African-American female faculty member (promoted to associate professor in 2004) and one was
an African-American female doctoral student (currently a tenure track professor). Utilizing elements of scholarly personal
narrative and case study methods they reveal the process they engaged in over a nine-year period, which resulted in their
retention and success in the academy.
