Abstract
While mentoring is part of being a faculty member, Black faculty carry the heavy burden of being perceived by colleagues and students to be the only ones who can adequately mentor minority students. With this heavy burden of mentoring on top of teaching, service, and research, many Black faculty are unable to balance the load, and ultimately one or more areas of their teaching, service, and research suffer. This chapter provides guidance, strategies, and tools from the authors that provide Black faculty with the skills necessary to be successful in academia and avoid burnout. This chapter also provides personal insights from the authors' experiences with burnout.
