Faculty Advisors

A Faculty Advisor is a member of the Delphi faculty or staff who provides adult friendship and guidance to help students in a variety of ways. A Faculty Advisor may take students into town for supplies, assist in making travel arrangements, or sit down with them for a good, heart-to-heart conversation. The Faculty Advisor is also available for the student's parents: answering questions, coordinating meetings with the student's academic teacher or supervisor, and keeping the parents updated on their child's progress through the program.

At Delphi, involvement with the students extends beyond the classroom. Faculty work with them on goals, career direction, and issues of responsibility involving themselves, their family and their group.  

Because many Faculty Advisors have two or three students assigned to them, close-knit friendships are often forged among their FA groups. Regularly scheduled FA nights find the staff and students involved in an evening activity of their own creation. This could be dinner and a movie in town, a trip to Portland for shopping and sushi, a quiet meal and board games at the FA's home, or even an overnight camping trip at the Oregon coast.
