Advisor Resources
Being an GSGA organization or program representative advisor takes a special understanding of allowing students to have autonomy of an organization while also being involved in decisions that they make. It also means being willing to give of your time to attend additional meetings and go on trips with your organization. On behalf of the Graduate Student Government Association, thank you for taking the time to inspire, mentor, and impact our student body!
Advisor Expectations
All chartered GSGA organizations and program representatives will have an advisor, a faculty/staff member employed directly by High Point University. They will be asked to serve in the following capacities while mentoring and guiding student leaders.

- Be active by attending as many of the meetings and events of the organization as possible.
