More Information:

Northern Oklahoma College understands the importance of involvement and encourages students to find opportunities to meet and interact with each other in a variety of ways.

Research on the benefits of student organization membership suggests that actively involved students perform better academically, are much more satisfied with their college experience, and are more likely to graduate.  Student organizations provide a medium for personal growth, leadership development, community service, academic discourse, and lasting friendships.

The Office of Student Affairs is dedicated to providing students with the opportunity to build community, gain interpersonal and leadership skills, and contribute to the campus community and beyond.

NOC welcomes students to organize new groups each semester.  To find out how to establish a new student club or organization on campus, contact the Office of Student Activities in the Gantz Student Union today!
