]. Mentoring by non-familyconstruction professionals has also been recommended as an effective recruitment tool [2 and 4], howeverresearch revealed that this type of mentoring has a small impact on individuals in under-representedgroups to decide to enter the industry [5]. Despite this, many schools and associations have createdprograms (e.g., the Architecture, Construction, Engineering [ACE] mentoring program) aimed to increasewomen’s interest and participation in construction degree programs [6].Others assert that colleges and universities have not made enough of an effort to recruit women, despitetheir acknowledgement of the need to increase minority enrollment to meet industry demands [2 and 7].In their study of schools with construction

The majority of these interactionstypically take place in the classroom, but also happen during office hours and extracurricular ac-tivities.Office hours provide a valuable opportunity for students to ask questions, obtain help for theirspecific situation, get mentoring, and engage with course content with an expert. This activeinteraction with a faculty member can provide valuable learning for students, and previous studieshave found that office hours can improve student course performance. A study by Guerrero andRod found that for each office hour attended students saw a 0.77% increase in their grade evencorrecting for overall GPA, gender, race, and family income [3]. A study
