All student organizations are required to have an Advisor and list their advisor's name on their roster.

Advisors are encouraged to be actively involved in all affairs of the organizations.
Conflict is a normal part of working in groups, and student organizations are encouraged to address concerns early, respectfully, and directly. When handled well, conflict can help organizations clarify expectations, improve communication, and build stronger teams. Student leaders should begin by reviewing their constitution, officer expectations, membership policies, and any relevant university policies. Organizations are encouraged to document concerns, communicate clearly with involved members, and seek support when a conflict begins to affect the organization’s ability to function.
Student Engagement and Activities can help student leaders talk through concerns, identify next steps, and connect with appropriate campus resources when needed.
Student organizations are responsible for planning safe, inclusive, and policy-compliant events and activities. Risk management helps organizations think ahead, reduce potential harm, and create a positive experience for participants, guests, and the campus community.
