The Glass Ceiling
Discrimination for people of color is highest at the point of entry and during the early years of one’s career. Institutions could reduce the glass-ceiling effect on people of color early in their careers by providing mentoring, support networks, and socialization to assist them as they transition into the institution and begin to assume greater levels of responsibility. For those already in senior-level positions, graduate school and early career socialization seems to have been an important component of their success.
