Advising a Student Organization

 The goal of the following information is to assist you as you master the role of an organization's advisor.

While students are responsible for starting and maintaining a student organization, it is often the advisor that supports the group's continuity from year to year.  Kutztown University requires that all student organizations have an advisor, either chosen by the group or appointed by the University.  Every registered organization needs at least one fulltime faculty or staff member to fulfill the responsibilities of an advisor. The relationship between organization members and advisor is very important to the success of the organization.
