ようこそ!

Welcome to the Official website of the Japanese Student Organization at Ohio State University!

What is JSO?

The Japanese Student Organization was founded with the purpose of creating a community on The Ohio State University campus.

  • JSO is open to all students no matter their race, religion, gender, age, or major.
  • JSO raises awareness and promotes Japanese culture through different events throughout the school year.

Mission Statement: Promote cultural awareness of Japanese among OSU students, faculties, staff, and individuals in nearby communities and provide opportunities to experience Japanese culture and tradition through activities.
