Tips for Being an Effective Advisor

Advisors should:

Communicate with his or her student organization, at least once per semester.
Role model honesty and integrity by following established laws or procedures.
Provide feedback or help the group develop their own opinions about actions or events.
Share knowledge of University policies, resources and relevant past experiences.
Be available to the group you advise.
Remember that the management of the group (programmatically and financially) remains with the student leaders within the group. Advisers can offer suggestions but they should not be responsible for doing work for the students, signing contracts for the organization or have a prominent role in any of the finances.
