...While reducing staffing in the advising office, it would also be wise to cancel Rinere’s brainchild, the wasteful Peer Advising Fellows program. The PAF program enrolls about 190 upperclassmen and pays them $1,000 per year. By contrast, the old prefect program, which accomplished the same goals, cost the College virtually nothing. With Rinere leaving, there is no reason not to go back to the day when the only thing that upperclass mentors earned was the right to eat in Annenberg...

It attempts to facilitate strong relationships between freshmen and upperclassmen, allowing the freshmen to seek help from those close to them in age and experience, with...
...Harvard’s advising system this year, flanked by a bevy of advising bodies. In addition to counsel from the year-old Student Advisory Board, the dean will receive student input from “community fellows”—representatives of the Peer Advising Fellows (PAF) program who will attend monthly meetings with Rinere’s office, according to an e-mail from the program’s manager, Brooks Lambert-Sluder ’05.
