We would like to know if there is any limit to the number of advisors we can have. We currently have one faculty advisor. My team and I were looking to get advice from a different professor but he has requested that he be made an advisor first. Are teams limited to one advisor, or does the term “advisor” mentioned in the rules simply refer to anyone who advises the team, with or without an official position?

There is no limit to the number of faculty advisors a team can have, but each team needs at least one. The “advisor” mentioned in the rules refers to anyone who may advise the team, whether that’s a grad student, professor, or working professional. If this professor wants to become an official faculty advisor, then they should email eeri@eeri.org and cc silvana@eeri.org stating their intent to become a (secondary, tertiary, etc.) faculty advisor for the team.
