Looking to get more involved on campus as well as boost your resume? Oregon State has over 300 clubs on campus and new ones are emerging every term! If you’re looking to get more involved with the OSU community, become a leader, apply your strengths, and build your resume at the same time, then you might think about joining a new club, becoming a member, taking the initiative to become an officer, or even founding your own club.
If you’re looking to find a new club, you might want to start by checking out one of these:
1) The Ballroom Dance Club: If you like to get your groove on then this club is definitely for you! Take your Friday and Saturday night dancing to the next level by coming and getting a free lesson from students who are proficient in dance performance and style. Whether you’re a first time beginner or have been dancing your whole life, this club will get you jumping and jiving till the sun goes down! (Wednesdays WB 116, Lesson 7-8pm, Open Dance 8-10pm).
2) Psychology Club: Are you interested in learning more about how humans interact with one another and how your own brain functions? Psych Club puts students though personality tests that tell you more about yourself and the people around you. In addition, the club brings in guest speakers from the OSU community to talk about cutting edge research!
