Non-Student Involvement

Tree Tip

Student organizations often benefit from the guidance of non-student advisors, instructors, coaches, or community members. The involvement of these individuals can be a valuable experience, and to ensure a high standard of quality, we offer resources to guide both student groups and their advisors.

Advisor Roles

Volunteer advisors are essential in supporting students' learning and development. If you are interested in becoming one, you should know that advisors serve at the discretion and request of student organization leaders. You can learn more about this partnership in the following resources.

Non-Student Framework

Serving as a non-student advisor to a student organization is a significant responsibility, as students will look to you for guidance. This framework will provide the core principles, definitions, and processes you'll need to know to effectively work with student organizations.
