Student Organizations

The School of Earth Sciences has several affiliated student organizations. If you want to learn more, please get in touch with the student leaders!


Natural History's Collection Club

The Natural History Collections Club is a student-led organization for students interested in natural history and museum collections. Our goal is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to gain valuable career experience working with natural history collections while benefiting Ohio State’s natural history collections by enhancing visibility and encouraging use through increased accessibility for research, teaching, and education. We welcome everyone from biology, geology, paleontology, anthropology, and everything between and beyond!

Graduate Student Club

The purpose of this organization is to foster a positive and productive School of Earth Sciences (SES) graduate student experience by providing efficient communication between the SES graduate students and the School, establishing independent responsibilities for the SES graduate student body, and encouraging academic, developmental, and social relationships within the SES graduate student body.

The Undergraduate Geology Club

The Undergraduate Geology Club within the School of Earth Sciences is both an academic and social club aimed at engaging undergraduate students with Earth Science material. During the weekly meetings, we host a wide range of activities including presentations from experts, career advancement events, and geology related games. In addition to the weekly meetings in and around Ohio State’s campus, we also have monthly field trips taking members to state and national parks, museums, caves, and fossil sites. We welcome students of all majors and backgrounds to learn and engage with geology!
