Welcome

WELCOME TO THE Student Involvement Office and all we offer! We encourage you to visit the Student Involvement Office (SIO) early in your tenure at Ohio Wesleyan University. You will be surprised at how much we can help you! We aim to be one-stop shop for all student club and organization needs.

Located on the main floor of the distinctive “green-roofed building,” the main office is located just behind the Information Desk. Three professional staff members assist students with the co-curricular aspect of their college careers. We recognize there is a balance each student must strike between course work and free time. Our goal is to support students while they learn this valuable life skill through leadership training workshops, off-campus trips to area attractions, and, most of all, through the student clubs and organizations on campus. To date there are 85 cultural, educational, and social clubs/organizations on campus. If the organization currently operating does not meet students’ needs, there is a relatively simple process to start a new club. Most events sponsored by the Student Involvement Office are free or at a minimal cost. Hamilton-Williams Campus Center is considered to be the “living room” of the campus.

The Hamilton-Williams Campus Center offers a casual atmosphere, and is the location for several food service operations, a T.V. lounge, the campus bookstore, student mailroom, information desk, lost and found, and many of the offices of the Division of Student Life. The building serves as a programming center for University life and a comfortable place simply to “hang out.”

Greek Life

For about one-third of OWU students, fraternities and sororities are an integral part of the liberal arts experience. Fraternity and sorority members share a set of ideals and values that bond them in brotherhood and sisterhood. OWU’s Greek Community offers students the opportunity to make lasting friendships, develop leadership skills, become involved with community service initiatives, pursue academic excellence, and maintain an active and varied social life.

Leadership

Recognizing that everyone has leadership capacity, our office strives to educate and encourage emerging and advanced student-leaders. Development programs/workshops focus on the process of leadership, including working collaboratively and independently.

In addition, our office seeks to recognize students for their many wonderful contributions to Ohio Wesleyan University.

We look forward to seeing you!

Director of Student Involvement and Hamilton-Williams Campus Center
