OSE’s vision is to be a transformative force in the lives of Wake Forest students, where every individual and organization feels connected, supported, and empowered to succeed. We aspire to cultivate an inclusive, engaged campus community that fosters lasting relationships, innovative learning, and the development of essential life skills.
Benson University Center
Benson is the hub of student life at Wake Forest. It is the home to student organizations, lounges, meeting spaces, and events. Our team manages the building and works to make it a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone.
Event Planning
From the First Six Weeks to Family Weekend, we support students and departments in planning impactful, well-run events. Whether it’s logistics, risk management, or creative direction, OSE is here to help.
Student Activity Fee
The Student Activity Fee funds events and initiatives that are open to the entire undergraduate student body. Our office manages the SAF process and works with students and departments to allocate funding equitably and transparently.
Student Government
Student Government advocates for the undergraduate student body and partners with campus leaders to address student needs. Student Government is advised by OSE as they shape policy, fund campus initiatives, and represent their peers.
Student Organizations
With over 150 student organizations on campus, there’s a place for everyone to get involved. From cultural and identity-based groups to service, academic, and special interest orgs, we support students in building community and bringing their ideas to life.
Student Union
Student Union is Wake’s student-run programming board, planning major campus events like concerts, trivia nights, and SpringFest. We advise and support the team as they create inclusive, memorable experiences for all Deacs.
