The Office of Student Engagement & Inclusion (OSEI) is seeking faculty and staff to serve as advisors for student organizations. Advisors play a crucial role in supporting student leaders and ensuring the success of their organizations.
Key Responsibilities for Advisors:
- Meet regularly with executive board members to receive updates on events, programs, and fundraisers.
- Offer guidance on recruiting new members and fostering inclusive environments.
- Provide neutral support during organizational conflicts, promoting resolution.
- Serve as an advocate for the organization’s goals and values.
- Review and approve financial expenditures submitted by the organization’s Treasurer before OSEI receives them.
- Help ensure adherence to University and OSEI policies outlined in The Source Student Handbook.
Important Reminder: Advisors are not expected to manage the day-to-day operations of the student organizations. The Empowered Leaders Workshops provide student leaders with the tools they need to run their organizations effectively. Advisors help ensure that organizations are following University policies and upholding UHart values.
What Student Organization Leaders are Responsible For:
- Submitting events, practices, and/or games using the Event Registration Form on the UHart Hub.
- Collaborating with Evan Sayre, Manager of Student Budgets and Operations, for budgeting, payments, and supply orders.
- Attending Empowered Leaders workshops throughout the year.
- Managing rosters and pages on the UHart Hub.
- Submitting the organization’s constitution/bylaws, detailing its mission, executive board roles, and guiding standards.
