Research indicates students who are involved during their collegiate years are more satisfied with their campus experiences, they do better with academics, they manage their time better, and they stay in school longer.
Involved students engage in physical, emotional and psychological energy.
Through my involvement with student organizations, I feel I am well prepared and confident in working through any confrontation. I better understand the importance of working with people, especially those that disagree with me. A compromise that is acceptable to everyone is only possible with open and honest communication. Many students never learn these skills, except through their involvement with campus organizations and university committees. Some of the most important skills I will take with me from OSU were a result of my experiences in student involvement.
