                  Where did that come from?
     Publications and research have long identified the advisor role 
       as somewhat passive with a primary focus on guidance and 
       encouragement
     Advisor roles are often perceived as voluntary and that there 
       may often be a choice involved in the assignment of the 
       advisor-student leader relationship
     Many advisors tend to advise student leadership groups in the 
       early years of their career in the profession, so a smaller 
       disparity in the perception of age, power, etc. can prevail

                          Is it really true?
     In reality, many student leadership advisors have their 
       responsibilities tied to their official paid positions.  Advisors need to 
       be vocal in order to preserve safety, security and integrity as they 
       can be liable for what student leaders do.
     Advisors are often the first identified or asked when student leader 
       actions are executed poorly or unethically
     Advisors often present a level of history and consistency within 
       student organizations because they often outlast their advisees.  
       Their participation and investment can be critical to an organization’s 
       success.
