Benefits of an Advisor
Benefits of Having a SAT Advisor
Student Advising Team (SAT) Advisor:
Every registered organization receives a SAT Advisor who may be from the Student Activities Center Staff, Office of Community Service, CIHQ or Mount Vernon Campus Life Office. It is up to your organization to determine how to utilize this resource.
Your advisor will...
- Meet with you about your events and organization concerns
- Process contracts on behalf of your organization
- Assist your organization in adhering to GW policies and procedures
- Help your organization be as successful as it can be
Your advisor can also:
- Offer ideas and answer questions about all aspects of running an effective organization
- Running effective meetings
- Planning retreats
- Event Planning
- Motivating group members
- Handling conflict among members
- Elections
- Transition
- And more...
Faculty Advisor:
SAC encourages all student organizations to seek a full-time faculty or staff member to serve as an additional advisor to the organization. They may provide guidance surrounding the organization's interests specific to the mission, or other needs of the group (for example., if your organization specializes in forensic science, it may benefit the organization to connect itself with a faculty member with that specialty). Please note that your SAT Advisor should serve as your resource to University policies and regulations.
