STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
FIND YOUR COMMUNITY. PURSUE YOUR INTERESTS. LEAVE YOUR LEGACY.
Whether you are drawn to community celebrations, student government, robotics, performance, or service projects, there is a place at OU for you to plug in and thrive. With more than 500 student organizations spanning academic, social, creative, athletic, cultural, and philanthropic interests, your talents and interests do not just have a place here, they have a platform.
Want to take the stage in Campus Activities Council University Sing and Scandals, connect with first-generation student groups,
play intramural sports, raise funds for the Oklahoma Children’s Health Foundation through Dance Marathon or volunteer with The Big Event, OU’s largest day of community service? Whatever you’re into, you will have the chance to make friends, grow your skills and create memories that last long after graduation.
Engagement at OU is not just what you do. It is how you grow, how you lead, and how you belong.
