Get involved

The OU Students Association connects students with support, resources, opportunities, and each other. We are the collective and representative voice of OU students, lobbying for changes and improvements both within the University and beyond, and our cause is strengthened by each student who gets involved.

Volunteering With so many interesting opportunities available throughout the academic year, it couldn’t be easier to get involved with the OU student community!
