Advisers represent and protect the interests of St. Cloud State University in all matters pertaining to the organization.
Advisers play a crucial role in the effective and efficient functioning of student organizations.
Advisers provide professional expertise for their respective organization in the selection, promotion, production and evaluation of the organization's activities. By sharing knowledge about the university and personal experience, the adviser can assist the organization in the conduct of its activities. In addition, valuable mutually rewarding non-classroom friendships between students and advisers can be fostered. The adviser works with student organizations and should not direct the organization's programs or activities. However, advisers should be frank in offering suggestions, concerns, or ideas for the organization's discussion.
