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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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.

International Social Work Support Network

Campus:	Columbus
Status:	Active - New/Re-Established I
Purpose Statement:	The mission of ISWSN is to contribute to developing a global vision and comprehensive plan to internationalize the College’s activities, with a focus on the principles of mutual learning and collaboration across the world, as opposed to a Western-centric approach. Our specific aim is to empower international students admitted to the College of Social Work by fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive community that promotes academic success, professional growth, and cultural exchange. Key objectives Academic Support: Provide resources and support to enhance the academic experience of international social work students. This is critical given the different academic atmosphere across different countries. Professional Development: Organize workshops that address key concerns of international students, career workshops, and networking events to prepare international social work students in successfully navigating their academic journey in the United States and potentially support navigating future career job markets in the United States. Cultural Exchange: Facilitate cultural events that not only enrich the cross-cultural understanding and integration of international students but also involve domestic students to foster an environment of cultural humility. Advocacy and Well-being: Advocate for the needs of international social work students within the College and the wider community and offer support services focused on adjusting to the new culture and overall well-being of international students. Community Building: Develop an inclusive environment that fosters friendship, collaboration, and mutual support among both international and domestic students in social work.
