...what counts for devoted and effective mentoring in the graduate school at Harvard,” she said. While the students and professors in attendance did not discuss undergraduate advising, one student said that graduate students—who are often advisors for undergraduates—can gain insight into advising from their own mentors. “We really care about [undergraduate] advising as graduate students,” Winthrop House Residential Tutor Jamie L.
