Who can be an advisor?

Advisors of ASUN clubs and organizations must be employed by the University of Nevada, Reno as faculty or classified staff members. Advisors are expected to contribute sound and mature judgment to the members in fulfilling the group’s educational and social goals. All undergraduate student organizations are encouraged to be recognized by the ASUN so they can be officially associated with the University of Nevada, Reno and gain access to a variety of resources.
