Find a Student Organization

There are over 1,400 student organizations at Ohio State and over half of all students join a student organization. Students who choose to get involved achieve many positive outcomes - leadership skills, better grades, friendships and mentors, and make a big campus seem small. Use the tools below to search for, find, and get involved with student organizations.

You can also connect with many of our student organizations at our Student Involvement Fairs in August and January. Check out the Student Involvement Fairs webpage for the latest information.

For individualized assistance find the student organization that's right for you, schedule a Get Involved Consultation. These 30-minute meetings will provide a personalized list of recommendations based on your interests and aspirations.

Please consult this list of student organizations with revoked registration as of Spring 2024. Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university. We encourage you to review an organization’s status before becoming involved with it, especially because sometimes an organization’s status is revoked due to serious concerns like hazing and other behavior that risks your health and safety.

Latine Educational Empowerment at The Ohio State University

Campus:	Columbus
Status:	Active - New/Re-Established I
Purpose Statement:	Latine Educational Empowerment seeks to inform middle and high school Latino students (in regions of Ohio that don’t receive many educational resources) of the educational opportunities at their disposal for college preparation. We aim for current Latino OSU students to meet and discuss ways to better the college path for younger students, amassing advice and experiences that can illuminate a route that often feels nebulous, particularly for Latino youths given the challenges they face compared to their white counterparts. Simply put, this organization will connect current students who have successfully completed the process of college attendance with younger students who may not even be aware of college as a possibility. It will also be a meeting ground for incoming Latino Buckeyes to get better acclimated to campus by meeting current Latino Buckeyes and bond — bond by paying it forward. We will have events that assist Latino Buckeyes of all years and majors to bond with one another as we engage in this mission – events will range from informal discussions and presentations (film, for example) about the position that Latino students occupy within the U.S. education system, our own experiences, and a way forward with those experiences in mind. Our overarching goal is to have at least 2 annual visits (one in fall, one in spring) to The Ohio State University for Latino middle and high school students, with lasting impacts being formed as we inform students of possible collegiate careers.
