Advisor Resources
Advisors
Since its inception, Cal Poly Pomona has recognized the significant learning that takes place outside the formal classroom. Over 200 faculty and staff volunteer to serve as advisors for clubs and organizations each year. Advisors are valuable partners in student’s personal development. Their most important contribution is advising about organizational effectiveness, finances, communication, conflict management, interpersonal effectiveness, and personal growth. It is through the aid of advisors that individual students develop their true potential as leaders.
Some common roles of the faculty/staff advisors are as a mentor, team builder, motivator, role model, educator, institutional policy interpreter, source of information and ideas, and liaison between the organization and university administration. The SELS staff serve in a general advisory role to organizations and advises as the need and particular questions arise.

- Risk Management
- As determined by Student Engagement, Leadership and Success staff, certain events will require referral to University Risk Management for review and approval before the event can occur and/or be scheduled. When your proposed club event is referred to Risk Management, a Risk Assessment must be completed. This will assist in determining if your club event will be approved and if the purchase of Special Event insurance is required. Refer to the Risk Assessment webpage for additional information, including Typical Characteristics of Medium to High Risk Events.
