Student Resources
-
With more than 200 clubs and organizations, there’s something for nearly every interest at ONU. And if you can’t find the club you’re after, start it yourself! By getting involved in organizations, you’ll uncover opportunities to make new friends, give back, travel, network, and learn how to lead.
-
The Greek organizations on campus all share common values and bonds, including scholarship, service, philanthropy, leadership and brotherhood/sisterhood. Choose from seven social fraternities and four social sororities. Approximately 20 percent of ONU’s student body is involved in Greek Life.
-
Feed your spirit as well as your mind at Northern. We have an active religious life both on and off campus for students for worship, fellowship, outreach and serving others. Organizations include Habitat for Humanity, Northern Christian Fellowship, Gospel Ensemble, Chapel Band and Choir, and the Catholic student ministry, Newman Club. ONU has been associated with the United Methodist Church since 1899.
-
Our Leaders’ Council brings together students from all disciplines to develop leadership skills. Guest speakers, networking and an annual leadership dinner are just some of the opportunities offered to student leaders.
-
Students interested in serving our country can do so at ONU. The Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) program and Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) programs are offered through Bowling Green State University. Enroll in the course(s) at ONU and travel to BGSU one day per week for instruction.
-
During Summer Orientation sessions, new students and their families are invited to campus for the opportunity to interact with other new students and their families, upperclassmen, faculty, staff, and administration. These daylong orientations are filled with informative sessions that will give you everything you need to know before classes begin in the fall.
