General Information About Student Organization Advisors
Advisors are critical to the success of a student organization. An active and involved advisor can help shape a student leader and the course of a student organization. This is mutually beneficial for both the students and the advisor. Some benefits include:
- Engaging outside of the classroom
- Sharing common interests
- Continuity of the group as members leave/graduate
- Encouragement, support, and guidance to help students make decisions
All student organizations are encouraged to have an on-campus faculty/staff advisor. To help better understand your role and responsibility as a student organization advisor, please download and read the following:
