Advisors

Every organization or committee, regardless of its size or purpose, has a valuable resource available through an advisor. Advisors assist student organizations in developing goals and objectives. Advisors also contribute wisdom, experience and knowledge of the University and its policies in planning programs and events.

The role of the advisor is to:

• assist the group in formulating long range goals and in planning and initiating short-term projects
• provide resource information pertaining to the goals and purpose of the organization
• suggest ways that meetings of the organization can be improved
• assist the student with University policy and procedural matters
• suggest ways that will increase the students' knowledge or empower students to help reach their leadership potential
• be available when emergencies or problems arise
• attend meetings and programs
