Herschbach, an almost 30-year veteran of Harvard as well as a specialist in budgetary matters, served as a House Master, FAS Registrar, and administrator for the College while expanding its undergraduate academic offerings. Rinere helped revamp the College's advising system as its first associate dean of advising programs, creating the Peer Advising Fellows program, the Advising Fortnight, the sophomore advising program, and the online advising portal.
