任何靠谱买球app推荐的教职员工, 等待主管批准, can be an advisor to a club or organization.
扶轮社/机构顾问做什么?
The main objective of a club/organization advisor is to be available to guide and assist the officers or members in the mission and goals of the group and ensure they are complying with all 靠谱买球app推荐 policies and procedures. How active or passive you will be should be negotiated between you and the group.
Some groups will need more or less attention depending on the time of year. Discuss with the group the time and attention they need from you before you agree to be their advisor.
也, by assuming the advisor role for a club/organization, you take on the responsibility of the club/organization and all 事件/actions taken by the students. It is your responsibility to assess the risk of the club/organization and activities, as well as make necessary changes to assure the lowest risk possible or make the College aware of any potential risk for an activity/event.
作为顾问，你的工作不是:
- 控制小组.
- 操纵小组.
- 为团队承担责任.
- 密切沟通.
- 害怕尝试新想法.
- 无所不知.
- 做领导者.
- 说“我告诉过你……”.
- 强加你自己的偏见.
- Tell the group what to do (unless they are acting in violation of a policy).
Taking an active role in a club/organization (attending meetings, 事件, 与官员会面, giving advice) does not mean you are running the organization. It means you guide and assist the officers in their roles, not doing the day-to-day operations. You might meet less frequently with the officers if the organization does not need an active advisor.

What is my liability/risk associated with being a club/organization advisor? Can I personally be held responsible if something should happen with my group?
简单的答案是否定的, you will not be held personally responsible as long as you advise/guide in a manner consistent with common sense and follow 靠谱买球app推荐 policies and procedures.
It is important for you and the group to learn the information in the 俱乐部和组织网站 and ask questions if you don't understand something.
All employees of Hawkeye are covered by institutional liability insurance as long as they are working within their job description and advising a Hawkeye club/organization.
It is very important for you to understand that if you know of any illegal activity, or activities that are not in line with the 学生行为准则, and chose to do nothing about this, you could be held responsible. Additionally, following industry standards (e.g. club sports teams wearing recommended protective gear, 遵守电影版权法例), following Hawkeye procedures (all travel or risky activities require a release/waiver form), 遵循州和联邦法律(e.g., hazing is illegal, drinking age), and using common sense go a long way in reducing your risk.
