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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Buckeye Parasitology Club

Campus:	Columbus
Status:	Active - New/Re-Established II
Purpose Statement:	The Buckeye Parasitology Club is affiliated with the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP). The aim of our organization is to have an atmosphere for undergraduate, graduate, and veterinary student to further develop their understanding of parasites, how those parasites affect people and animals, what can be done to control or prevent these parasites, and how students can use their training and knowledge to educate and bring awareness to the population so they can make sound decisions when it comes to the care of themselves, their pets, and livestock. The Buckeye Parasitology Club also aims to invoke interest in the field of veterinary parasitology in the minds of veterinary and undergraduate students to demonstrate the additional aspects and career opportunities in veterinary medicine and how it contributes to One Health. The club’s association with the AAVP enhances the ability of students to reach the experts in the field of veterinary parasitology at the national level to build a network of resources for students as they search for research opportunities, career options, and diagnostic assistance when in practice. We will create these opportunities by holding monthly meetings to discuss relevant developments within the field, wet labs to learn and practice diagnostic techniques, field trip events to investigate the parasite prevalence within the area, and attendance at national meetings.
