Out of State Student Association (OSSA)
The Out of State Student Association is a registered student organization and is the only student organization for out of state students. Founded in 2019, the organization has over 200 members and provides opportunities for networking, connecting to resources, and fostering community. OSSA has multiple socials and workshops each quarter, sends a monthly newsletter highlighting campus opportunities, and advocates for out-of-state student needs on UCLA’s campus. Join OSSA at their next program and stay connected with their social media.
Get Involved
Any domestic out-of-state student can join OSSA by attending their programs throughout the year or by subscribing to the OSSA mailing list. Meetings are on Tuesday evening a couple times a quarter. Stay up-to-date with what we are doing with the following social media platforms. All OSSA programs are conducted remotely for the 2020-2021 school year.
