Advisers
Thank you for your service to student organizations. As advisers, you go beyond your work responsibilities to support recognized student organizations. You are mentors, team builders, conflict mediators, educators and motivators. You are invaluable resources to our 120+ recognized student organizations and because students grow and learn from these experiences, you also grow from the contributions of the organizations you advise.
The Office of Student Engagement is here to support advisers throughout the year by providing information and offering support. Our Adviser's Brown Bag serves to bring advisers together each month to interact and discuss common advising issues and dilemmas, the Advice for the Advisers Wiki, is full of information regarding Smith and Five-College policies, budgeting and important dates and the OSE Staff is here and ready to help you talk through a problem or answer a question.
