Advising at a glance

Thank you for your decision to be an advisor for one or more of our student organizations! Advisors serve as a critical component to the success of our student organization community, and each advisor perceives their relation to a student organization differently. Whether you are an experienced advisor or new to the position, your choice to advise a student organization will prove to be a rewarding experience.

The Center for Student Engagement provides several resources and programs for advisors to help support their role. Advisors can take different roles in supporting their student organization, but it is hoped that all advisors maintain regular contact with their student organization to mentor, develop, and educate their student organization/s.

The services we provide advisors and student organizations are continually changing and improving. We would love your feedback, and if you have any questions, please contact Lina Flores Wolf at lfloreswolf@luc.edu.  Thank you for your commitment and dedication in supporting our student organization community!
