Role of the Advisor

All student organizations are required to identify a UAA faculty or staff advisor every year. Advisors are invited to formally accept the Advisor Agreement on , our student organization management portal. 

Advisors can play many roles: Mentor, Team Builder, Conflict Mediator, Educator, Mentor and Policy Interpreter.

Given the wide range of purposes, activities, and objectives of student groups across the campus community, your role as an advisor may vary. Time and time again, we see that the advisors that give the most, get the most.

  

Advisor Tips

Here are some tips and tricks that can help you help your student organization.

• Establish Expectations

  No matter your style, it is important that you develop an understanding with the organization as to the nature of your involvement.  The advisor and organization should agree on shared expectations at the beginning of the active term. 

  Questions to Establish Expectations with Student Organizations

  • Which student leaders should I meet with regularly? When is a good time for us to check in?
  • How can we stay connected in the meantime? What email or contact information do you prefer using?
  • What kinds of activities is the organization interested in? How can I help connect you to opportunities that matter the most?
  • What do members want out of their involvement? Why do they join?
• Be Knowledgeable

  Student leaders are asked to know quite a lot. Every President and Treasurer is required to complete Officer Orientation and score an 80% or higher on their Officer Orientation test.

  The orientation covers university event and spending policies, travel processes and activity guidelines that even faculty and staff follow. Your experience informs theirs. 

  Here are some ways you can stay knowledgeable about student organization management: 

  • Review and familiarize yourself with our expectations for officers
  • Subscribe to the weekly student org newsletter,
  • Connect with Student Org Services and ask questions!
• Spread the Word

  In the Classroom
  The number one reported priority of student organizations year after year is simple: recruitment. 

  Your work on campus touches ten times as many students as members themselves do. Use the classroom as place to explore the possibilities and connect students to organization that can fuel the fire within them. 

  Out of the Classroom
  When you engage with colleagues, industry partners or local organizations as a member of the university community, you are forging relationships that may change students' lives.

  Use those interactions as an opportunity to share student stories, build awareness about the student org, and find opportunities.
