First, thank you for agreeing to be an advisor for a Recognized Student Organization at MSU. Our many student groups could not function without the time and support of dedicated staff and faculty like yourselves. While time commitments vary based on the student group with which you are involved, student groups thrive with sincere involvement from their advisor.
Many of the questions you may have are answered on the other pages on the main RSO site. Please refere to the RSO Manual for general information about RSO's. Also, you can learn more about the University Policies governing RSO's and their advisors by clicking here.
Finally, you can read a letter from the Vice-President explaining the Clery Act requirements, and read the Clery Act brochure. You need to agree to the reporting expectations to be an advisor.
As always, please contact Student Activities with questions about advising a student organization. The time you spend with these groups in out-of-classroom experiences is often the most impactful time for students.
