More than 34,000 students working as a part of 1,376 teams spread across 41 countries have worked to reach out to their local communities and make a positive contribution. Faculty Advisors serve as trusted mentors for their students sort through various career opportunities and make the transition from to the workforce.
The role of the Faculty Advisor is to assist in the activities of the team through encouragement, advice, and guidance.
