The goal of this article is to examine diversified mentoring relationships (DMRs) at a mid-sized Midwestern state university (MMSU) in the USA. The author conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 MMSU faculty members and professional personnel who comprised seven diversified mentoring dyads. The author used a thematic analysis of the data, grounded in the literature on developmental relationships and relational dialectics theory (RDT). The findings reveal tensions that diversified mentoring dyads experienced, as well as communication strategies that dyad members used to manage these tensions.
