The economics department seeks to centralize its program by employing fewer, but more specialized, advisers in Littauer. On the other hand, the government department hopes to disperse its advising resources to reach a wider range of students.
In 2006, the government concentration switched to House-based advising after working with a hybrid of House advising and centralized advising based in CGIS for a number of years.
A number of government concentration advisers praise the system for the ways in which it allows them to bring advising directly to students.
“At 10 o’clock at night in the dining hall, I can recommend classes or answer questions,” says Brodi J. Kemp, theLowell House government tutor. “It’s really nice to have that.”
In a reflection of the desire to maintain a government advising community, Kemp says that the department has also pushed to ensure that the majority of the House advisers are residential tutors, as opposed to non-res tutors who are merely affiliated with a House.
