In this clip, listen as a graduate student shares where they received support from during the pandemic. They share that their advisor was their main source of support coming into graduate school during the pandemic because their department didn’t offer the necessary support systems. The pandemic halted a lot of support normally offered to incoming graduate students and spotlighted the gaps in support as well.
If it weren’t for my advisor I wouldn’t know a lot of things because our department didn’t do anything for us.
