Sponsored Student Organizations: Faculty Advising




Information   Expectations                 Rules                 Resources




              The purpose of this module is to provide you with information that is
                                          critical to your success as an advisor and
                                       to the success of your student organization.
Information
   Oregon State University recognizes that sponsored student organizations are inherently linked to
   the University because of their role in enhancing education, representing OSU, and/or presenting
   events that are considered an integral part of the institution. In order to best support the learning
    of student leaders in our community, we have adopted a philosophical approach of partnership
       and collaboration with individual students and student organizations as “facilitators” in the
involvement experience. As “facilitators,” faculty advisors work with administrators, faculty, and staff to
     support student organization members and leaders in making intelligent, fair, and reasonable
  choices within the boundaries established by state, federal, and local laws, university rules/policies,
  and the mission of the sponsoring unit. At Oregon State University, the Faculty Advisor is defined as
     “faculty, staff, or personnel responsible for maintaining relationship with a sponsored student
organization that allows for education and development as well as administration of data collection and
                       University policies, procedures, and guidelines” and serves as
                       the primary “facilitator” to Sponsored Student Organizations.
Student Organization Philosophy

    Student organizations provide living laboratories in which leadership skills are gained and honed. They give
        students an opportunity to pursue their interests, to succeed, to fail, and most importantly, to grow.
        Classrooms don’t always provide the opportunity for responsible and accountable involvement that
   engagement with student organizations provides. Leadership is not merely a collection of skills; leaders must
       forge their style through experiences that allow them to build and apply organizational and individual
   capacities for the public good. Student organizations are one of the few opportunities students have to gain
                            hands-on experience while working towards the public good.
      Oregon State University recognizes the contributions of Student Organizations in creating a compelling
         learning environment that prepares students to live in a multicultural society and work in a global
   community. The University recognizes that all students should have access to form and join organizations of
     their own choosing to enhance their educational experience, support holistic personal development and
                                                      retention.

In order to facilitate the development of these opportunities for involvement, the following values serve as a compass in determining the
classification and support for student organizations at OSU.
•     Alignment - As advisors, administrators, educators, students, and student organizations, we are aligned with the core mission and values of
      Oregon State University.
•     Access - We believe that a student’s ability to form and join organizations of their own choosing is a high priority. As a result, we are committed
      to having clear, visible, and student- friendly resources and processes that facilitate easy access. This is inclusive of, but not limited to: a
      mentoring relationship, advising, assistance with recruitment, and access to meeting and activity space.
•     Engagement - We recognize the value of co-curricular and academic involvement throughout the student experience and are dedicated to
      facilitating partnerships with students that support shared accountability, responsibility, and learning. Through engagement with student
      organizations, students develop leadership and organizational skills which enhance knowledge, holistic growth, community development, and
      student retention.
•     Health & Community - We support clubs and organizations that enhance our community by providing opportunities for leadership, learning,
      diversity, and social responsibility. The health of the community will be one of purposeful, open, safe, just, and celebrative outcomes that allow
      students and the campus to flourish in meeting institutional goals.

                     the students also assume responsibility for their            organizations
                                    actions and decisions.

                      A facilitator university seeks shared responsibility,         “ The vision of the facilitator university
                                                                                    model illustrates what is reasonable
                          and the goal for advisors is to find a balance            and positive in the relationships among
                                                                                    students, universities and the legal
                         between directly guiding the organization and              system… A legal paradigm that asks
                                                                                    colleges to exercise reasonable
                          allowing students to guide the organization               care…and asks students to be

                                                                                    community” (Bickel and Lake 1999:

                      things, provided that they do so within the guiding
                                           boundaries.

SSO Faculty Advisor Guide - Information

  • 1. An online training module Sponsored Student Organizations: Faculty Advisor Guide
  • 2. Sponsored Student Organizations: Faculty Advising Information Expectations Rules Resources The purpose of this module is to provide you with information that is critical to your success as an advisor and to the success of your student organization.
  • 3. Information Oregon State University recognizes that sponsored student organizations are inherently linked to the University because of their role in enhancing education, representing OSU, and/or presenting events that are considered an integral part of the institution. In order to best support the learning of student leaders in our community, we have adopted a philosophical approach of partnership and collaboration with individual students and student organizations as “facilitators” in the involvement experience. As “facilitators,” faculty advisors work with administrators, faculty, and staff to support student organization members and leaders in making intelligent, fair, and reasonable choices within the boundaries established by state, federal, and local laws, university rules/policies, and the mission of the sponsoring unit. At Oregon State University, the Faculty Advisor is defined as “faculty, staff, or personnel responsible for maintaining relationship with a sponsored student organization that allows for education and development as well as administration of data collection and University policies, procedures, and guidelines” and serves as the primary “facilitator” to Sponsored Student Organizations.
  • 4. Student Organization Philosophy Student organizations provide living laboratories in which leadership skills are gained and honed. They give students an opportunity to pursue their interests, to succeed, to fail, and most importantly, to grow. Classrooms don’t always provide the opportunity for responsible and accountable involvement that engagement with student organizations provides. Leadership is not merely a collection of skills; leaders must forge their style through experiences that allow them to build and apply organizational and individual capacities for the public good. Student organizations are one of the few opportunities students have to gain hands-on experience while working towards the public good. Oregon State University recognizes the contributions of Student Organizations in creating a compelling learning environment that prepares students to live in a multicultural society and work in a global community. The University recognizes that all students should have access to form and join organizations of their own choosing to enhance their educational experience, support holistic personal development and retention. In order to facilitate the development of these opportunities for involvement, the following values serve as a compass in determining the classification and support for student organizations at OSU. • Alignment - As advisors, administrators, educators, students, and student organizations, we are aligned with the core mission and values of Oregon State University. • Access - We believe that a student’s ability to form and join organizations of their own choosing is a high priority. As a result, we are committed to having clear, visible, and student- friendly resources and processes that facilitate easy access. This is inclusive of, but not limited to: a mentoring relationship, advising, assistance with recruitment, and access to meeting and activity space. • Engagement - We recognize the value of co-curricular and academic involvement throughout the student experience and are dedicated to facilitating partnerships with students that support shared accountability, responsibility, and learning. Through engagement with student organizations, students develop leadership and organizational skills which enhance knowledge, holistic growth, community development, and student retention. • Health & Community - We support clubs and organizations that enhance our community by providing opportunities for leadership, learning, diversity, and social responsibility. The health of the community will be one of purposeful, open, safe, just, and celebrative outcomes that allow students and the campus to flourish in meeting institutional goals.
