Student Organizations - Advisor Information

Purpose of Student Organization Advisors
The University requires that all campus-recognized student organizations have an official student organization advisor. The advisor must be a Cal State San Marcos faculty or staff member who is willing to provide guidance and support to the organization above and beyond their duties as a Cal State San Marcos professional. The advisor serves in a voluntary capacity to the student organization and provides direction, advice and continuity to both the members and officers of the student organization.

SLL commends the extra time commitment and effort put forth by advisors. It is our hope that the relationships that form between the organization's members and their advisor more than compensate for the responsibilities taken on by the advisor. The opportunity to be part of the student's development is something already valued by the professionals on this campus and we thank advisors for accepting this enhanced role in students' lives.
