SIUE currently offers more than 300 recognized student organizations. We are always in need of individuals who are willing to serve as an advisor to these student groups.

If you are a full time SIUE faculty or staff member and would potentially be willing to serve as an advisor to a student group, please email me at mking@siue.edu, and I will put you on the list of potential advisers.

When a group needs an advisor, I will contact everyone on the list to see who is interested. If you expressed interest in being an advisor last year, please contact me again.

Serving as an organization advisor can be rewarding, and we appreciate the time and effort faculty and staff put in to ensure SIUE organizations succeed.

Please note that service as an advisor counts as University service for the faculty tenure process (and our office will provide letters in support of this).

For more information, contact Michelle Welter, associate director of the Kimmel Student Involvement Center, at 650-2686.
