From Dr. Harris: Support can come across in different ways, right? It can come across the cheerleader part, and that's an extremely important part of it. But also someone who's going to be honest or at least push you to be honest with yourself about what you're going through. You don't want people just kind of always telling you, ‘You're great’ all the time, even when you’re making a mistake…because the systems that we are all giving our lives to, being a part of in higher education, are not going to do that.
