New Advisor Onboarding

Congratulations on matching with a Â鶹´«Ã½ registered student organization and thank you for serving our students. Below is a series of topics including required next steps to get started in your role as well as information and resources.

Next Steps

Please contact joseph.lattal@northwestern.edu to directly notify our office that the group no longer needs a faculty/staff advisor.

Next, please connect with a student contact in the group you advise and ask that the student:

  • Invite you to their group's Wildcat Connection page's roster as 'Advisor.'
  • Update the group's Wildcat Connection page's Â鶹´«Ã½ Us section to include your contact information.
  • Bring a SOFO Change of Advisor form for you to sign in to the SOFO account (and ideally with the outgoing advisor already signed as leaving the account access).
  • Bring an Advisor Acknowledgement Form for you to review, initial, and sign.
  • Invite you to any group Listserv, collaborative folder, or other communication group appropriate for the advisor to be involved in (especially where meeting minutes are shared).
