Students can find listings of campus organizations in the Orange Pages, a handbook they received at orientation, the CampusLink website and by visiting the Campus Life desk in the Student Union. The mission of Campus Life is to create and build campus communities and enhance the academic experience through a variety of culture, educational, leadership, service, social and recreational programs. Campus Life’s department encompasses the following administrative and programming areas: Allied Arts, Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, International Students and Scholars, Leadership Development, Non-Traditional Student Services, Parents and Family Relations, Student Union Activities Board, Student Union Programs and the Student Development Transcript and Service-Learning Volunteer Center. In addition, Campus Life oversees Camp Cowboy, Orange Peel and the Family Orientation program during New Student Orientation. Parents may contact the Campus Life office for activity and events calendar information, general information about the university and for referral to appropriate offices when you have questions or concerns. Service-Learning Volunteer Center

union.okstate.edu/volunteer Getting involved in on-campus and off-campus community service projects has been a tradition at OSU since 1984, with the establishment of the volunteer center. Since its inception, thousands of civic-minded students, staff and faculty have taken the first step in solving problems by offering their talents through active engagement with community nonprofit agencies, public schools and medical service organizations.
