The OSU chapter of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science was named the 2025 Chapter of the Year by the national organization, out of more than 150 chapters nationwide.
With an active membership of nearly 150 students, the chapter’s advisors say it’s the student officers’ commitment to engagement and organization that really sets SACNAS at OSU apart.
The Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center came about much the same way as many Cultural Centers around the country: through student protests, sacrifice, relentless determination, and struggle. On April 26th, 1975, the BSU opened a cultural center to call their own, thanks to the associated students of OSU, the Alumni Center, and the community. After the official opening in 1975, the BSU Cultural Center's name was changed to the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center. Lonnie B. Harris was the first director of the EOP. He was also a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
