Abstract
When graduate students gather, a few common conversation themes repeat themselves. On a good day there might be discussions of fresh data or a recent paper. On a bad day, there might be complaints about field assistants or projects that are not going according to plan. Consistently, however, the conversation winds its way back to advisors, because graduate advisors play a critical role in the success of graduate students and in the overall graduate school experience. Along with lab mates, the graduate advisor is the person with whom students will interact the most during their academic careers. Some students conducting fieldwork may even find themselves living and working in close quarters with their advisor for extended periods of time. Given the length of graduate programs, choosing an advisor represents a long-term relationship, and the success of a student is dependent on this relationship.
