Klein, M. & Cufaude, J. B. (1989, Sept.). Bridge the gap. ACU-I Bulletin, 57, (5), 4-7. ED339257. Mic

This document consists of two paired articles: the first, "Preparing Faculty Out of Class Experiences," by Mel Klein, and the second, "Help Advisers Be More Than Ghost Signatures," by Jeffrey B. Calfaude. Each article shares insights on how faculty advisers "bridge the gap" between students and faculty. When faculty members are asked to advise student organizations for the first time, student union professionals should meet with them to communicate that faculty roles are active and dynamic and their responsibilities are complex. Student groups expect advisers to become major problem solvers, mediators, guides, critics, and resources.
