Faculty Advisors

Faculty and staff advisors play a vital role in supporting the activities of student-led WUSC Local Committees on campus.  

Their specific responsibilities vary from campus to campus depending on the advisor's availability and the Local Committee's level of self-sufficiency.

Typically, an advisor may:

• support the Local Committee
  • provide advice and support
  • liaise with senior administration
  • help the committee access campus services
  • guide, encourage and motivate members
  • offer continuity from year to year as committee membership changes.
    
• support the Student Refugee Program 
  • help prepare and coordinate a sponsored student's arrival and orientation to campus and life in Canada
  • act as contact person and mentor to the student refugee
  • ensure Local Committee members meet regularly with the student refugee to monitor his/her progress
  • guide the Local Committee in finding part-time and seasonal work for the sponsored student
