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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Running Club at The Ohio State University logo

Running Club at The Ohio State University

Campus: Columbus
Status: Active - New/Re-Established II
Purpose Statement: The Running Club at The Ohio State University gathers students who enjoy running any distance from the 60-meter dash to marathons (not to mention our field-inclined friends who prefer a little less running and a little more jumping or throwing) and provides the opportunity for all athletes to compete or simply be a part of a recreational training group. We meet throughout the week for group runs, workouts, and races hosted by local universities and our national affiliates. The Running Club isn't just about running though! We have a dedicated team organizing social events and group outings throughout the year, as well as community service events in the Columbus area. From all of us at The Running Club, we hope to be more than a collegiate club; we hope to build life long friendships and community connections.
