If you are a CUA staff or faculty member and are interested in being an advisor on a Service & Justice Immersion Trip, we're happy you're here! Staff advisors play an essential role in the program by walking with students before, during, and after the trip as they process the experience and integrate it into their lives. In order to be placed as an advisor for the current school year's immersion program (trips take place during Spring Break and in mid-May), please complete and submit this interest form by October. Forms are accepted on a rolling basis, and you will be contacted by a Campus Minister upon the submission of your form.
Immersion Trip Advisor Expectations
- Participate in several pre-trip formation meetings with students, as well as a staff training
- Serve as an advisor to the student leader, as well as a support and guide to all student participants
- Act as an official representative of the university, respond to emergency situations, etc.
Please see the interest form for a comprehensive list of responsibilities.
