missions are much more focused on providing educational opportunities tolocal students who wish to pursue an education beyond high school. With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars

These factors include poor-quality teaching and advising, a challenging curriculum,deficiencies in mathematics, uninspiring courses, lack of sense of belonging, a lack of interactionbetween students and faculty, financial difficulties, a lack of hands-on projects as well as theavailability of infrastructure and laboratory facilities [1]–[3], [8]–[11].
