CLUB ADVISOR RESOURCES

Behind every successful student club is a dedicated advisor. Club advisors support student-led organizations by ensuring club activities align with college policy, safety expectations, and fiscal requirements. NOTE: You're not alone! SRJC has a staff that's here to help. See the support contacts below to get help with finances, room reservations and conflict resolution.

KEY ADVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES

LIAISON: Serve as a point of contact to help clubs navigate the college. Respond to questions from the club.

PRESENCE: Be at key events/meetings when required (see below).

PAPERWORK: Sign off on forms (finance, events, travel, etc.) and make sure they’re submitted correctly.

SUPPORT: Encourage students, help them build organization skills, and intervene if safety or conduct concerns arise.

REPORT EMERGENCIES: Report safety or conduct concerns to Student Life so they can be addressed early. The Student Life department is always available for help/guidance, and it's good to catch incidents while they are small before they balloon into something worse.
