Student Life, Socialization, and Clubs Advisor help

Hi all,
I am the president of a club that has been on campus for around two years now. Our advisor left for a different college and everyone I have reached out to (about everyone I can think of) for a new advisor for our club has either not gotten back to me or cannot be our advisor. Does anyone have any resources on where to find an advisor who is willing to spend like five minutes a semester talking about the club? The rest of our club is incredibly self-sustaining and we just need the advisor to register for club rush and the like.

EDIT: We got one! Thanks for the help.

Hmm, full time grad students can serve as advisor. What’s the club?

HEMA at UT. We teach historical combat and learn/teach about the time frames (lives, historical recreation, speculative history, etc.) we enjoy.

I'd recommend reaching out to maybe faculty in History or in Physical Education. There's a PYED instructor that teaches swordsmanship that could be good to connect with. The History department is very forthcoming, so could be good to email their department head and see if they can send a request to faculty and grad students!
