Did you know that IUP has around 150 student clubs and organizations growing every semester? While students work to establish their organizations, advisors are needed to assist them through that process. Advisors develop a deep connection with student group leaders, so this is an excellent opportunity to work closely with students to further their interests.

Advisors are needed, especially for new clubs, as getting officially recognized requires each new organization to have an advisor. Donovan Daniel will hold training on Wednesday, September 25, from 11:15 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. in Leonard Hall for new advisors.

Are you an advisor, or are you thinking about becoming one? Show your interest by filling out a form to offer your support. Even if you are unable to attend the training on September 25, you are very welcome and encouraged to apply.
