Involvement

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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Service, Education, and Activism in Dentistry

Campus:	Columbus
Status:	Active - New/Re-Established II
Purpose Statement:	The purpose of SEAD shall be to aid the effort of increasing the number of minority and underrepresented individuals that have the ability to enter dental schools and gain access to vital oral care, increasing the knowledge of dentistry in undergraduate students, and improving career readiness of future dental professionals. Additionally, SEAD will provide students with the opportunity to interact with culturally diverse people and to have an impact on their local community through service, education, and activism. SEAD understands that a crucial factor in the preparedness of undergraduates for their graduate and career lives is to increase the communication between the aspiring pre-dentals, dental students, and dental professionals. To facilitate our goal, SEAD will establish productive relationships with several OSU dental school organizations, OSU dental school professors, and local oral healthcare professionals that have the same passion to inspire change through volunteerism, education, and activism. Guest speakers from the aforementioned groups will equip SEAD members with the background information necessary to contextualize the importance of all the volunteering opportunities throughout the year, and will prepare them for the reality of the modern oral health industry and how they will have to navigate through it in the near future.
