Research shows that earlyprofessional experiences, including mentorship support (or lack thereof), followindividual faculty throughout their academic life cycle, impacting careerperformance, research, motivation, persistence, and mental health [3, 4]. Pre-tenurefaculty and professional track faculty also report significant stress, a general lackof support, and an overall struggle with work-life harmony [2].Mentorship for tenured faculty can also present a challenge as mentorshipinitiatives are often targeted to pre-tenure roles, leaving tenured faculty to navigatetheir

The Truth and ReconciliationCommission (TRC) of Canada is calling on individuals, groups, and organizations toacknowledge the hardships and challenges of Indigenous populations on this land in the past andpresent [1]. As a way of making amends, two streams of work have been done. First, attemptshave been made to acknowledge both the gloomy, that is the discrimination and hardships theIndigenous people experience(d), as well as the rich history of Indigenous persons in thecurriculum. Second, there are conversations and efforts to integrate Indigenous ways of knowingand practices into the curriculum, which has coined the term “Indigenizing the Curriculum”.

Over the past twodecades, time-to-degree for United States (U.S.) bachelor’s degree recipients has noticeablyincreased, resulting in higher education institutions becoming particularly concerned aboutcompletion or graduation rates [2]. Traditionally, the bachelor’s degree is a four-year degree.However, more than 50 percent of bachelor’s students fail to complete their degree on time, thusbecoming extender students. This term refers to students who take longer than four years tocomplete a bachelor’s degree [3], [4].

Researchers and Academic EntrepreneursGalati et al. (2020) proposed several different theoretical approaches for exploring thesensemaking processes of academic researchers engaged in commercialization activity includingself-determination theory and social identity theory. These are based on the identity perspective(Gruber & MacMillan, 2017), which assesses entrepreneurial behavior in a way that is differentfrom “views embedded in economic rationality” (Gilati, p. 1480). The identity perspectiveclaims two things: 1) that individuals behave in ways that they consider appropriate forthemselves in a specific context, and 2) that human beings have a fundamental need for self-definition and for finding their own place in society (Gilati).
