Student Leadership

---

The Camp Cowboy experience is coordinated by students for students. Three student directors and a team of up to 15 coordinating council leaders work together to plan activities to help new OSU students learn what means to be a Cowboy and grow their sense of orange pride, while making new friends before classes begin.
