As an Advisor, you are a mentor for incoming student officers and outgoing student officers. Meet with your officers of the student organization on a regular basis to discuss upcoming meetings, long-term plans, goals, and issues that arise with the organization. We also recommend you participate in their training and transitions to feel connected.
By knowing the policies and procedures of our campus, you can help your student officers by explaining important practices and regulations. Inform your organization's members of inappropriate behaviors and the consequences that can occur.
Every organization is required to complete the Advisor Agreement form on an annual basis which outlines these responsibilities and other important tasks for the advisor. Advisors will be emailed each fall with more information and the form.
