This past year has been marked by climate disasters, painful geopolitical events, growing mental health struggles among teens, leaps in AI technology and more. The Chronicle of Evidence-Based Mentoring has covered these topics through the lens of mentoring and has continued to provide opinions, profiles, and summaries of peer-reviewed research. We want to thank our readers, including our more than 14,000 subscribers, for your continued interest in the Chronicle. We know that your attention is pulled in countless directions, and it’s an honor that you share some of it with us. In case you missed them, here are five of the most frequently viewed posts of 2024.
