Interested in joining the Ohio Union Activities Board?
OUAB is an opportunity to not only have a hand in planning some amazing events for Ohio State but to also develop both personally and professionally. OUAB members do everything for the organization including brainstorming ideas, calling agents, booking artists and entertainers, communicating with university officials, securing venues, and making the events actually happen.
How to Apply
It is important for our members to be involved from the beginning of the year, and so new members can join OUAB only in the fall quarter. The application for membership was due Friday, October 7 at 5:00 p.m. Once applications are reviewed, we will conduct interviews and make selections from there. The selections process will be complete by the end of October.
The New Member Process
After the application and interview process and upon acceptance in OUAB in fall quarter, you are considered a new member in an introductory quarter. As a new member, there are a couple requirements for that quarter:
-
Attend OUAB training the 6th and 7th meeting of the quarter
-
Fill out a Committee Preference Form
When you complete these requirements fall quarter, you are placed on a committee as a full-fledged, voting general member. This second level of membership is continuous during your entire tenure at Ohio State. In terms of membership requirements, each quarter OUAB general members are required to do the following:
-
Volunteer at one event programmed by the committee in which you serve
-
Volunteer at one event programmed by another committee
-
Complete one marketing task
-
Attend 8 out of 10 membership meetings
