The residential concentration advisers operate within an official advising capacity and are capable of signing students’ study cards. They are also responsible for holding weekly office hours and meet on a monthly basis to discuss upcoming deadlines and other concerns.
A number of government concentration advisers praise the system for the ways in which it allows them to bring advising directly to students.
“I think the residential House advisers are so convenient,” government concentrator Bradford O. Bailey ’10 says. “The advisers are mentors and models for academic life and academic issues.”
Cheryl B. Welch, director of undergraduate studies for the government department, says the PCCs will provide concentrators “another contact for course selection” and will encourage “conversations about the courses and the material,” while drawing on personal experience.
As Campbell notes, economics has already drawn “inspiration” from the life sciences, which has used a staff advising system for several years.
