Resident Tutors - Resident tutors are kind of like proctors, only better! They are available and eager to give academic advice in their area of specialty(ies) and about other aspects of life at Harvard and beyond. coordinate study breaks and other house events, and join students for meals in the dining hall.

Sophomore Advisor
Though you are encouraged to get to know as many resident tutors as possible, one in particular has been assigned to be your official sophomore advisor. You are required to meet with this tutor at least once at the start of each semester and are welcome to consult them as issues arise throughout the year.

Non-resident Tutors
"Non-Res" tutors are graduate students and young professionals affiliated with the house. They offer additional academic and professional advising in fields that are not represented among the resident tutors. Many also organize regular events in the house, such as help sessions, language tables, or public service activities.

Senior Tutor
The equivalent of the dean of the house, the senior tutor is also the advocate for its students as Currier's representative on the Administrative Board. The best thing about senior tutors is that they are not allowed to say "I don't know..." when you ask them a question about Harvard. (They have to say "I'll find out...")
