The Native American Student Association helps the individual Indian student adjust to college life and gain a better understanding and knowledge of the Indian heritage, as well as preserve it. Membership is open to those interested in the cultures of Native Americans. Three times a year, more than 200 students from 15 Oklahoma colleges and universities participate in a mock state legislature modeled after the real Oklahoma political system. Delegates use the State Capitol, the actual House, Senate and Supreme Court chambers and create legislation. This legislation goes through the formal bill process, including committee hearings, debate and voting on the House and Senate floors, and signature or veto by the Governor.
OIL serves as a great hands-on organization for students to learn the legislative process.
The purpose of the Emergency Medical Technician Student Association is to recognize the vital role that emergency medical service personnel play in our daily lives, and to encourage emergency medical services as a career. The formal organization of student nurses on campus, the OSU-Oklahoma City Chapter of the Oklahoma Student Nurse Association, is open to all nursing students. Members receive mailings from the National Student Nurse Association, have the opportunity to attend state and national conventions, and have the chance to interact with nursing students from other college nursing programs, staying current with trends and issues regarding the nursing profession. Chapter Phi Theta Kappa is the international junior college honor society that recognizes scholastic achievement and promotes social awareness, fellowship and individual growth. Invitations for membership are mailed to eligible students in September and February.
