- Advisers at MHCC provide important assistance to student leaders. Advisers help student groups be effective in accomplishing an organization’s goals while helping to enrich the personal and social development of students involved in student activities. Each MHCC student organization must have an adviser to be chartered.
- Advisers are expected to assist students in the following ways:
- Serve the organization as a resource person helping outline strategies on how to successfully accomplish group goals;
- Assist the vice president of student success and enrollment management or designee in supervising the financial activities of a group using procedures established by the College’s Business Office. This may include approving expenditure requests when required;
- Attend group meetings and events;
- Assure that the stewardship of the group is held by students;
- Assure compliance with all MHCC guidelines as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct, administrative regulations, Board policies and ASG Guidelines;
- If issues of student conduct arise affecting a student organization, its membership or leadership, the adviser will meet with the vice president of student success and enrollment management or designee to discuss the problem(s). The director will refer student conduct issues to the student conduct officer as necessary.
