Abstract
Doctoral students can find themselves in an especially vulnerable position, as they delve into a totally new way through which to view subject matter specialization information while equally focus upon closely working with faculty and doctoral student colleagues. Creating impactful lifelong doctoral experiences and associated professional bonds are consistently maintained levels of scholarly community expectation. The co-author colleagues come together to reflect upon their experiences with Queen Bees throughout their doctoral studies as well as professional life parallel reflections, no matter whether the Queen Bees are found in the role of faculty, administration, staff, or other doctoral student colleagues. This chapter coalesces from different universities, from different places in their professional journey, and from diverse perspectives of experience, towards lending credence to the voices of colleagues who recognize differentiated aspects of the Queen Bee in all of us.
