Polish Club

Polish Club serves as a place for students interested in Polish culture, language, traditions, and history to connect with each other and overall improve their connection to this country. Polish Club aims to foster an inclusive, fun, and educational insight into the fascinating background of Poland through member activities and projects. Any student, regardless of Polish heritage or background, is welcome into Polish Club. By introducing Polish Club at The Ohio State University, we aim to continue to preserve OSU’s mission of creating an inclusive learning environment where safe and healthy discourse can be held. This overall supports students on their individual goals as it relates to Polish Club, such as increasing knowledge of the language, improving understanding of world affairs with Poland, connecting with cultures and traditions of Poland, or something more simple like picking up a new Polish song or recipe. Our club recognizes that there is a need for a place at OSU where individuals can learn about Poland and its multifaceted, complex, and fascinating background. We strive to not only fill this need, but create a fun atmosphere for any individual to grow in their love of learning.
