Student Organization Development

The Student Organization Development program at Oregon State University supports the development of all students through participation in clubs and organizations. Student organizations provide unparalleled opportunities for experiential learning outside the classroom. Student organization programs and resources promote leadership, diversity, critical thinking, creativity, social interaction and community for members of organizations and those who attend programs.

Student organizations are a vital part of Oregon State University, creating a rich community of diversity. Approximately three hundred OSU recognized student organizations with varying thoughts, activities, goals and experiences build a foundation for community service, cultural expression, activism, civil discourse, free speech, academic achievement and professional development.

The Student Organization Development program is here to help organizations with advising, training and development, activity and event planning, organization registration, and leadership resources.
