This study explored learning cultural competency skills in the context of mentor/protege relationships. Graduate faculty and students from NASPAA member and affiliate schools, who identified as being in cross-cultural mentoring relationships (mentors and proteges who were from different races/ethnicities, nationalities) were recruited to participate in a survey to examine the perceptions of mentoring and cultural competency skill development in the context of their relationships. The Camphina-Bacote cultural competency model attributes were examined to see if one or more attributes were perceived to be demonstrated by mentors in the context of cross-cultural mentoring. Using cross-tabulation, Pearson’s Chi square, and Somer’s D, mentoring structures, mentoring roles, broaching approaches, organizational culture, and mentor motivational factors were correlated with Camphina-Bacote's cultural competency attributes to see if a specific cultural competency attribute was perceived to be more present than others. Results indicated the episodic/situational mentoring structure and the cultural competency attribute skill was perceived as most frequently displayed for both mentors and proteges; the affective mentoring role and the cultural competency attribute skill was perceived to be most frequently displayed according to the mentors while the affective mentoring role and the cultural competency attribute desire was perceived to be most frequently displayed according to the protege participants.Proteges reported the congruent broaching approach and the cultural competency attribute skill was perceived to be displayed most frequently. Mentor participants reported that clan organizational culture and cultural competency attribute-skill was most frequently displayed. Mentors ranked having an impact on a protege’s professional or academic growth was the top motivating factor to mentor. Weak significant relationships were found with episodic/situation mentoring structures and cultural competency attribute skill for both mentors and proteges; affecting mentoring role and cultural competency attribute-skill for mentors; affective mentoring role and cultural competency attribute desire for proteges; clan organizational culture and cultural competency attribute skill for mentors; Broaching and the cultural competency attribute skill did not have significant relationship for proteges.
