Student LifeNo matter who you are or what you are interested in, there is a group for you on campus. If we don’t have exactly what you are looking for, grab some friends and start your own group! Below is just a sampling of some resources you can use to find the group or club that is right for you. Community Service and Service LearningMany students take advantage of service-learning opportunities offered through the Partnership for Social Action office. Students are able to participate in service-learning and community-service volunteer opportunities locally to internationally.

OMSA occupies a suite of offices in the Memorial Union Building. This is where you’ll find everything you need in a hangout: comfortable couches, a quiet room for study, and a computer lab.
