This manuscript presents the results of a survey of faculty
advisors of student chapters of the Financial Management
Association International (FMA). The institutions, advisors,
and chapters are characterized in an effort to better understand
how institutions serve their students—through the
management of chapters and also how institutions provide that
service through assignment of faculty advisors. The evidence
indicates that chapters provide a wide-range of services and
opportunities to students through the chapters, yet there
appears to be differing perspectives as to the role, nature, and
assignment, of chapter advisors.
