College is one of the most important formative experiences of life. It’s a time when you’re not only immersed in exploring the world and discovering new ideas, you’re also finding out more about yourself. That’s why the Office of Student Involvement (OSI) is committed to supporting and encouraging the activities and ideas of student leaders and their organizations.
Traditional Programs
The Office of Student Involvement is responsible for many events and programs throughout the year. OSI often collaborates with other departments as well as student organizations to sponsor these events.
