At Whittier College, your college experience extends far beyond the classroom. The Office of Student Engagement (OSE) is here to help you build meaningful connections, explore your interests, develop leadership skills, and make the most of your time as a Poet.
Whether you're looking for lifelong friendships, opportunities to lead, exciting campus events, or ways to make an impact, OSE is your gateway to an engaged and vibrant college experience.
With more than 40 student clubs and organizations, there’s a place for everyone at Whittier. From sustainability and cultural organizations to student government, media and publications, club sports, academic groups, and societies, you’ll find countless ways to connect with others who share your passions.
Don’t see a club that matches your interests? We’ll help you create one and bring your ideas to life.
College is about more than earning a degree—it’s about finding your people. Throughout the year, OSE and our student organizations host a wide variety of events, traditions, programs, and activities designed to help you make friends, create memories, and feel at home on campus.
Commuter students are an important part of our community, too. We offer programs, resources, and spaces that help commuter students stay connected and fully engaged in campus life.
Leadership opportunities are everywhere at Whittier. Whether you're serving as a student organization officer, planning campus events, participating in workshops, or taking part in leadership development programs, you'll gain valuable skills that prepare you for success long after graduation.
Start building your résumé from day one. OSE offers student employment opportunities that help you develop professional skills, gain hands-on experience, and make a meaningful impact on campus.
This is your time to explore new interests, challenge yourself, and discover what inspires you. Whatever your goals, OSE is here to help you get involved, stay connected, and make the most of your Whittier journey.
