Education RSOs

Join an education-related Registered Student Organization - there are several to choose from!

At UChicago, participating in an RSO is one of the most accessible ways to start building real experience. By joining an education-focused RSO, students can:

  • Build relationships with Chicago's education community: Many of these RSOs work closely with local schools and nonprofits, giving you a head start on the kind of community-based experience employers in education value

  • Take on real responsibility: Coordinating volunteer schedules, managing partnerships with schools, or leading programming builds the organizational and leadership skills education employers look for
