Professional Organizations

Getting involved with a professional association is one of the best ways to enhance what you're learning in your classes -- and most of them have special rates for students or recent graduates. They offer specialized training, conferences, networking opportunities, job listings and more. Some of the groups below are national; others are based in Ohio. Students who are not in Ohio or who are looking to move to another area are encouraged to seek out the relevant organizations for that region. The School also supports several student organizations that are chapters of national organizations, which will give you a chance to meet future colleagues and learn about career opportunities.
