Student Life

On-Campus Involvement

Getting involved with registered student organizations (RSOs) is key to exploring, enjoying and enhancing the college experience. By joining an RSO students broaden their perspective, expand their social circle and, at times, choose their major and/or career based on their experiences. ISU has over 300 RSOs. For more information about RSOs at ISU, please visit the ISU Dean of Students Office webpage.
