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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Purpose Statement: In a world where technology increases its reach into our personal lives, encroaching on our privacy, accessibility, and even our democracy, the Open Source Club at the Ohio State University seeks to educate and advocate on the benefits of open-source, both as a software development model, and as a philosophy. This will be accomplished by workshops on how to incorporate freedom-respecting software in your life, collaborations with other clubs to find the intersection between their goals and the open-source movement, as well as hosting talks and social gatherings to collaborate on how to improve the the community around open-source in general.
