SECTION 8
Club Advisor Agreement
Education takes place in many different ways. One way is through co-curricular involvement. Educators
facilitate learning in different ways as well. A club advisor helps students to take full advantage of the cocurricular learning experience and serves as a role model and mentor for members of their group.
Advising is a process in which an advisor is available to guide and assist the officers or members in the mission
and goals of the group. The level of guidance or assistance a group needs can depend on the time of year or
the developmental level of the officers leading the club or organization. Some clubs or organizations may be
more or less autonomous, and meeting the group’s needs will be important in being an effective advisor. In
evaluating your time commitments, negotiate with the group the amount of time they need from you before
agreeing to be their advisor.
Centenary College’s experiences with student groups have proven the importance of the advisor to the
success of a club's endeavors. The activity level of a student group is often proportional to the advisor's
involvement. Those student organizations that are most successful have active advisors.
Each organization must have at least one advisor who is chosen by the club and approved by the Student
Government Association. An advisor must be a full time member of Centenary College faculty or staff.
A club advisor will:









Understand the general purpose of the student organization and be familiar with all provisions
outlined in the organization’s mission and code of conduct.
Be familiar with national organizational structure and services, if relevant.
Ensure that the club offers a diverse and inclusive membership opportunity.
With the help of the club officers, be responsible for the keeping of all College standards at all
functions and should report to the Student Government any activities that may violate College
policies. Please refer to the Student Handbook as needed:
http://www.centenarycollege.edu/cms/fileadmin/user_upload/campus_life/student_handbook_final_
13_14.pdf
Ensure club compliance with the policies outlined in the Centenary College Club Manual (financial
affairs, posting, transportation/van, etc.)
Be aware of all club meetings, requirements, forums, operations and activities.
Mediate inter-group conflict if necessary.
Be in attendance, or arrange for an approved substitute, for all on and off campus events which may
take place during normal, weekend or evening hours.
Determine expected attendance at meetings in an agreement with the club president. The club
president should meet a minimum of one time per month with the advisor to discuss upcoming
activities and to apprise him/her of other club matters.





Support their club as needed in the planning of events and is responsible for submitting any
necessary Facilities Event Request Forms (FERF) on the club’s behalf.
Assist in the review and posting of club communications on campus and on the
my.centenarycollege.edu site.
Facilitate learning and offer guidance to the organization on risk management, goal setting,
organization management, team building, program planning, problem solving, and group evaluation.

SECTION 9
Use of Centenary Cyclone Mascot Costume
Members of the Centenary College Community or Friends of the Cyclones may borrow the
mascot costume to use as a promotional tool at non-commercial local community events.
Scheduling will be coordinated through the Athletics Department / Director of Athletics.
Pick up of the Mascot costume should be immediately prior to the event unless otherwise
directed by the Athletic Department / Director of Athletics.
There are two key members of the Cyclone Mascot Costume: the Mascot “talent” and the
Handler. Carefully review the responsibilities of the Mascot and the Handler below before
accepting the opportunity to use the Cyclone Mascot costume for your event.
The Mascot “talent”
The person wearing the costume, referred to as “the talent”, will conduct
him/herself in a manner appropriate to represent Centenary College and the
Athletic Department.
The talent should be approx. 5’ 7” in height or taller. Persons of a medium / large
body type are ideally suited to wear the Mascot costume. Persons of a very small
or over sized body type will not properly fit into the Mascot costume and should
not be used as the talent to avoid injury to the talent or damage to the Mascot
costume.
The talent must be 16 years old, or older.
The talent should be a Centenary College employee or student or member of the
Friends of the Cyclones. In any case where a volunteer will wear the costume, it
must be pre-approved by the Director of Athletics, and the volunteer must be
informed of and abide by the Use of the Centenary Cyclone Mascot Costume
guidelines.
The mascot is non-verbal, so the talent must refrain from speaking. This is because
the costume will be worn by many different people and the only way to have a
uniform “voice” is for the character to maintain silence.
Appropriate gestures may be used, such as nodding the head to signify “yes” or “no”.
No autographs will be given. Defer to the handler to explain how impossible it is for
a “Cyclone” to write. The Handler may present a Cyclone temporary tattoo or
Centenary Cyclones bracelet in lieu of an autograph.
Refer questions to the handler by turning to him/her.
Be friendly and convey enthusiasm through appropriate gesture.
Dancing, high fives, handshakes, hugs, posing for photos are all appropriate and
permitted actions at the discretion of the handler. Have fun!!!
The Handler
The handler will assist the talent with proper wearing of any costume component
and assure that dressing is done out of view of the audience to preserve the
integrity of the mascot character. Escort the mascot talent to a private location
before placing any part of the costume on the talent.
The mascot must be accompanied by an adult attendant (handler) at all times
during public appearances.
The handler must escort and assist the mascot as needed. For example, since the
costume-wearer’s ability to navigate, see, and hear will be compromised, the
handler will serve as his eyes and ears.
The handler will ensure that guests do not hurt or harm the Mascot (costume or
talent) at any time. Guests should not pull or tug on the costume parts (shoes, mitts,
eyes, mouth, pants, etc.) or any articles of clothing (t-shirt, jerseys, hats, bow ties,
etc.) that the Mascot may be wearing for the event.
The handler will relay messages on behalf of the mascot. Since the mascot is a nonspeaking character, the handler will serve as the mascot’s voice as necessary.
Also, signing autographs will not be practical because of the mitts, the handler will
deny these requests and offer a Cyclone temporary tattoo or Centenary Cyclones
bracelet in lieu of an autograph.
The handler will assure rest breaks after a 20-30 minutes period or as needed. This
is especially important during hot weather for the safety and comfort of the talent.
The handler will assure that removal of any costume component is done out of view
of the audience to preserve the integrity of the mascot character. Escort the mascot
to a private location before removal of head or any part of the costume.
The Mascot must be properly cared for and stored in the carry bag provided. It is the
responsibility of both parties, the Mascot “talent” and the Handler, to be sure that all
Mascot parts are properly stored in the carry bag at the completion of use. Any
problems or concerns (cleanliness, rips or tears, etc.) with the Mascot costume should be
identified to the Athletic Department staff upon return. Return of the Mascot costume
should be immediately following the conclusion of the event unless directed by the Athletic
Department / Director of Athletics.

Fundraising for Clubs
Fundraising is the sale of products, the solicitation of donations, the collection of dues, the charge of admission,
or any other means of collecting revenue.
Groups seeking approval for fund raising activities must complete a Fundraiser-Request Form and submit it to
the Student Government Association a minimum of two weeks before the fundraising activity is scheduled to

are officially registered with the College
do not serve or support partisan political purposes or activities
are open to all individuals regardless of race, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation,
or disability
enhance the College’s mission and core values
College facilities are not to be used for personal gain by individual students or organizations.
Personal gain is defined as the sale of goods or services or the sponsorship of any fundraising activity on College
property by any individual or group that is intended to improve the personal financial status of any person or
group of persons involved in the sponsorship of the activity.
Fundamental to this definition is the premise that funds raised on College property are to be used to expand the
educational and recreational opportunities for recognized clubs who raise funds on campus, or for legitimate
community service activities, and not to financially subsidize any individual person’s interests or needs.
Permission for all fundraising activities is extended only to registered clubs, groups and organizations and is
subject to the following regulations:




Permission shall not be granted for products and services that conflict with the institutional values of
Centenary College. Examples of prohibited products include but are not limited to alcohol, and
pornographic materials.
The club must pay, in advance, any pre-established fees for venue, permit, equipment rental, and other
direct costs.
Funds raised must benefit a recognized club or a bonafide charitable organization.
The Community Service Department in the Ferry Building can be of assistance when
determining the legitimacy of a charity.
The College reserves the right to investigate financial records of clubs that have been allowed to raise
funds to determine if the funds are being used for the purpose for which they
were raised.
Fundraising in residence halls is also subject to restriction of housing policies or hall policies relating to location
or procedures. All fundraising events that are conducted in the residence halls must be approved by the Director
of Residence Life.
As funds are acquired, all proceeds must be deposited into the club’s college account immediately. If the
Business Office is closed it is the officer and advisor’s responsibility to deposit the funds the following business
day into the business office.
Students and advisors may not carry or store funds in their offices, book bag, rooms, or anything that is not a safe
or deemed appropriate the Student Government Association. Within one day of collection, students/advisors are
responsible to deposit all proceeds to the Business Office.
SECTION 15
Club Fundraiser Request Form

fundraising events taking place on campus. Forms must be

Centenary College Owned Vehicle Usage Policy and Procedure Statement
Centenary College will have one policy for the entire campus. This policy will be consistently implemented by all
departments, divisions and student group advisors. Compliance by all departments, divisions and students
groups is mandatory.
The policies and procedures are as follows:
Procedure and policies for driving rented vehicles or privately owned vehicles for college trips where your passengers are
other Centenary staff, faculty, or students, will be the same as for those driving college owned vehicles.
Drivers of rented or privately owned vehicles on College business will need to submit their state driver’s license for a review
of the driver’s history. This is coordinated by the Van Coordinator and Centenary College’s insurance company (keep in
mind it takes 7-10 days for approval).
Requests for authorization to obtain driving records will be billed directly to the department/division/student group, which
directly supervises the driver applying for a college license.
All those requesting to drive for Centenary College must read, understand, and sign a driver obligation form and an
authorization to obtain driving records. Both forms must be signed by an approved staff, faculty member, or student group
advisor and submitted with a copy of your state driver’s license to the Van Coordinator for processing and filing.
Once approved, you will receive a letter confirming that you are approved as a Centenary Van Driver and a copy of the
Centenary College usage policies and procedure statements. You will not be permitted to drive for the College until you
receive this information.
Your Centenary license must be renewed every fall semester (no later than October 15 th) or it will be considered cancelled.
Driver’s who are removed from the insurance policy will have to reapply for a college license. You will have to submit the
re-application forms, which take approximately 2 – 3 weeks to be processed. In addition, we will have to bill your
supervising department for an authorization to obtain driving records.
Requests for use of the college vehicles will be coordinated through the van coordinator’s office by contacting ext. 2297.
College vehicles are provided on a first come, first serve basis. Vehicle reservations will not be accepted from students
unless accompanied by written documentation from the department supervisor.
Drivers are not provided with the reservation. It is the responsibility of the staff member reserving the van to find a College
licensed and suitable driver for their trips. A list of available drivers may be provided if requested.
Gas vouchers will be provided and gas is charged to the college account. Any driver who does not use the contracted gas
station for fuel service will not be reimbursed by the college. If there is a necessity to use alternate gas stations for fuel
service (i.e. overnight trips, trips of lengthy distance), drivers should make arrangements with the department supervising
the trip for monetary gas expenses or reimbursement.
Keys to vans and vehicle packets are to be picked up the day of the trip and returned immediately upon completion of the
trip. Trips departing campus prior to 9am weekdays must be picked up the day prior. Saturday and Sunday trips key
packets should be picked up the Friday before the scheduled trip. Weekend and late evening trip key packets should be
returned the Monday following the trip.

1. Have a valid state driver’s license, be 18 years or older, with a one-year clean driving record, less than two points, and no Driving Under the

Centenary College driving privileges and/or the taking of an approved defensive driving course.
I understand that if a van trip goes beyond 150 miles from the campus, or is before 9am, after 4pm, Monday-Friday and all day
Saturday and Sunday, I assume primary financial and operational responsibility for the van. I understand that it will require making
arrangements for emergency repairs to the van, and transportation to finish the trip, or to return the passengers and driver to Centenary
College.
I agree to have my drivers return the van to its designated parking spot, re-fill the vehicle with gas, and to have the keys, completed
Daily Maintenance Record, and emergency call list returned in the provided packet to the person I reserved the van with or to the Van

I agree that anyone who is taking part in an athletic event will drive no more than 2 hours to or from the event.
I agree to permit no driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol to drive for me. If that driver is found to be under the influence,
driving privileges will be immediately revoked.
I am aware that my name and telephone numbers will be published on the emergency/accident procedure and call list.
Failure to comply with any policy or procedure stated here and in the Centenary College Owned Vehicle Usage Policy and
Procedure Statement, will subject your department, division, or student group to loss of van use.

If breakdowns, accidents, or other vehicle-use problems occur before 9am or after 4pm, Monday-Friday and/or all day Saturday and Sunday, the
driver/department assumes primary financial and operational responsibility for the van. This may require making arrangements for emergency
repairs to the van and/or transportation to finish the scheduled trip. It is the driver/department’s responsibility to return the passengers and van to
Centenary College.
Please use the numbers above if you need help in an emergency or accident situation. Follow the procedures as outlined in your Van
Guidelines manual and those stipulated by your authorizing staff member. If you can not reach anyone, try calling the Van Coordinator.
