• Be a positive role model for the organization you advise. 

• Identify and tap into leadership potential among organizations’ membership.

• Initiate communication with the organization to develop a strong rapport with the officers and members.  Please do not wait for them to call.

• Be a resource person for leaders and members of the organization.  Students do not expect advisors to know answers to all questions. Students do expect advisors to help find the answers.

• Take the time to ask student leaders 3 important questions: 

                1. How are things with classes going? 
                2. How is your leadership position going? 
                3. How are things with you? (i.e.: job, family, 
                roommate, friends, etc.)

• Utilize the advisor's resources that are available, i.e.: on line resources, experience and wisdom and other advisor's experiences.

• Take advantage of “teachable moments”.  Help student leaders learn to take responsibility for their actions and learn from their mistakes.

• Be proactive.  Teach students how to see risks in their event planning and manage them.  Require student leaders to complete and fill out facility permits and other paperwork...SGA requires it!

• Abide by all The University of Findlay policies and regulations as the advisor.  Educate, educate and reeducate the organization on how to be successful as a group and still abide by policies.

• Enjoy the privilege of being a part of students’ lives.
