Advisor Appreciation Lunch - Spring 2025
TBD - Return back for more information in Spring 2025
Student organization staff/faculty advisors and co-advisors are invited to a lunch & learn hosted by the Ohio Union and Student Activities team. This year’s Advisor Lunch will kick off with a short 30-minute presentation preparing advisors to support essential processes such as leadership transitions and strategic planning, as well as an overview of key resources. The presentation will be followed by informal table conversations about other topics such as best practices, risk management, and motivation/delegation. This is a drop-in style program, and it is not required to be present for the entirety of the event or arrive at the beginning. Slides will be shared with all attendees after the event, and the buffet lunch will remain open throughout the event while food lasts. This is the perfect opportunity to leverage the advising community’s experience working with student organizations, as this event is intended for advisors and co-advisors only.
The sign-up will remain open until the event is at capacity, though please submit dietary or physical accommodation needs by February 5 to ensure access. The full menu and program details are provided in the confirmation email.
