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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Buckeyes for Special Hockey

Campus:	Columbus
Status:	Active - New/Re-Established I
Purpose Statement:	At Buckeyes for Special Hockey, our mission is to unite students with varying medical and sports interests to make a positive impact on the lives of children with developmental disabilities in the Columbus community. Through hands-on engagement, collaborative efforts, and fundraising initiatives, we aim to raise both funds and awareness for organizations and hospitals dedicated to supporting children with special needs. We seek to establish strong bonds between Ohio State University students and young special hockey teams across Columbus. By facilitating regular interactions, we strive to create an environment of camaraderie, support, and mentorship for these children. Our organization seeks to provide Ohio State students with the opportunity to apply their medical and sports-related knowledge in real-world settings. Through workshops, training sessions, and hands-on experiences, members will gain valuable insights into working with individuals who have developmental disabilities. We are also committed to raising funds that directly contribute to reducing the financial barriers faced by special hockey players and their parents. By lowering the cost of participation for practices and games, we ensure that these enriching opportunities are accessible to a wider range of children. Buckeyes for Special Hockey actively seeks collaborations with local organizations (such as the Columbus Blue Jacket), hospitals, and educational institutions. By partnering with these entities, we aim to amplify our impact, expand our reach, and create a support network that benefits both the children and the broader community. Together, we aspire to build bridges of understanding, compassion, and support between Ohio State University students and the special hockey community in Columbus. Through fundraising, awareness campaigns, and hands-on engagement, we believe that we can create positive change and enrich the lives of all those involved.
