Student Handbook for Student Engagement
Registered Student Organizations
Student Affairs provides opportunities for student involvement and participation through student organizations, student activities, and campus programming. These opportunities ensure students are encouraged to become involved in all aspects of campus life.
Organizations recognized by the University will be afforded the following privileges: use of campus facilities for no or minimal charge, the opportunity to set up an on-campus account, if available, access to a mailbox specifically for that organization, to receive allocations from the Northeastern Student Government Association, to have the opportunity to participate in University activities, and the ability to use, "Northeastern State University" as part of the organization name. (Organizations not recognized may not use "Northeastern State University or NSU" as part of the organization name).
University recognition in no way implies that Northeastern State University condones or supports any or all activities of a registered student organization.
For questions about existing organizations or how to initiate a new organization on-campus, contact Student Activities in UC B01 or at 918-444-2526.
Leadership and Community Engagement
Our purpose is to help develop students into more globally aware and active citizens, while helping them become engaged in both the NSU and off-campus communities. We strive to embody the mission, vision, and core values of Northeastern State University through leadership, service education and programming. To participate in volunteer opportunities or register for a leadership development training, contact Student Activities at 918-444-2526.
Northeastern Activities Board
The mission of the Northeastern Activities Board (NAB) is to enhance the college experience by opening the door of opportunity to getting involved on-campus through student activities and entertainment. NAB plans and produces a wide variety of special programs and events for students by students allowing for hands-on experience, working with diverse groups of people, expanding creative horizons, challenging life knowledge and leadership skill development. For more information contact NAB at nab@nsuok.edu or contact Student Activities at 918-444-2526.
Fraternity and Sorority Life
The ever-growing Greek system includes national fraternities and national sororities. The Greek organizations, represented by elected members of the Greek council, work together to host Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment, numerous philanthropic and service events, Greek Week, Greek Sing, and leadership development opportunities for all members of the Greek community. Involvement in Fraternity and Sorority Life also encourages participation in additional campus and community activities.
Northeastern Student Government Association
The Northeastern Student Government Association serves as a liaison between a diverse student body and the administration and faculty of NSU. Through our advocacy, we empower and educate students to create change, and we strive to expand a culture of learning, discovery, and diversity. For more information, contact NSGA at nsga@nsuok.edu or Student Engagement at 918-444-2526.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and Inclusion serves to create a welcoming and empowering environment for all NSU students. The office provides opportunities for multicultural and historically underserved student populations to connect, participate in leadership development, and find support systems within the University community. We provide ongoing educational workshops related to multicultural topics and identity development. For more information, contact Student Engagement at 918-444-2526.
Safe Zone
The NSU Safe Zone was created to educate the NSU community about the issues of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) communities. Through education, advocacy, and awareness of LGBTQ issues, the program assists in promoting a safe and welcoming climate. The program, committee members and supporters strive:
- To provide Safe Zone training.
- To identify issues and concerns and provide recommendations for policies, programs, and initiatives for resolution.
- To provide educational materials and opportunities to the community.
- To ensure inclusion and equality in concert with NSU's diversity strategic goal.
