Student organizations are an integral part of the OHIO community and offer students rich, interdisciplinary opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. Individually, student organizations provide a platform for students to develop leadership and organizational skills. Collectively, student organizations enrich campus life by enhancing the cultural, social and intellectual life of the University.
We hope to provide support to students aiming to pursue their various interests, talents and strengths that are separate from formal curricular experiences.
