The only manual for faculty and staff who work directly
with student organizations
Advising Student Groups and Organizations is a
one-of-a-kind book that equips faculty members and administrators
to competently and confidently serve as advisers to clubs and other
student groups. The second edition is here to help colleges and
universities keep up with the skyrocketing number of student groups
and shifts in the legal landscape. New chapters on crucial topics,
updated case studies, and a full suite of practical resources
simplify the process of navigating student organizations.
With Advising Student Groups and Organizations, educators
can turn the chore of advising into a rewarding activity that
benefits everyone. Challenges like student apathy, university
politics, and budgetary restrictions can be overcome with the ideas
and activities presented here. And in this fully updated edition,
new chapters contain everything you need to know about:
* Advising fraternities and sororities
* Navigating laws such as FERPA, Title IX, and the Clery Act
* Working with online distance students and using social media as
an advising tool
* Conflict mediation and training student advisors
You’ll want to keep this guide handy so you can take advantage
of tools like reflection questions, activities, checklists, and
sample forms. Advising Student Groups and Organizations even
covers the use of assessments such as True Colors and
Strengths Finder. Now you’ll be able to cut through bureaucracy to
make the student advising experience truly transformative.
