Stanislaus. To facilitate this mission we provide students with co-curricular learning and leadership development opportunities.
Our Programs

Advising
Alissa Aragon: Student Clubs & Organizations

 Be a University employee (employees of campus auxiliary entities may not serve as advisors)
 Complete this Advisor Orientation PowerPoint
 Advisors are defined as “campus security authorities.”
 Be on campus: Advisors on sabbatical or extended leaves of absence should identify an alternate advisor during their absence.
 Be familiar with the organization’s constitution and bylaws.
 Attend (if possible) events involving alcohol
 Assist SLD and the University in upholding University policies.

 Campus Security Authorities are required to report certain criminal offenses as outlined by federal law; specifically the
“Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime
Statistics Act” (Clery Act).
 If someone has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, he or she is a campus security authority
(i.e. Presidents and Advisors).
 The function of a campus security authority is to report to CSU
Stanislaus University Police Department those allegations of
Clery Act crimes that he/she concludes were made in good faith.

 An advisor may also serve in the following capacities:
 Attending organizational meetings/events/fundraisers
 Teaching and coaching student leaders when issues or conflicts arise
 Serving as a resource for networking on and off campus
 Mentoring students in the organization
 Assisting the organization with goal setting
 Keeping historical information and documents

*Not responsible for determining authoritatively whether a crime took place
*Not responsible to try and convince a victim to contact law enforcement if the victim chooses not to do so.
*It is simply your duty to inform UPD what the crime was and where it took place.
