The Society of Advocates (SOA) was formed in September of 2005 after a group of alumni decided that there was a need for an organization that catered to alumni interested in promoting the University and in utilizing their positions within the public sector to help recent graduates.  Since then, the organization has been working to recruit alumni interested in government and politics. 

SOA's mission is to aid and promote the general welfare of Ohio University by creating and promoting meaningful opportunities and relationships for Ohio

University students and alumni, and advocating for the University in government and political arenas.

Please visit our "upcoming events" section to learn more about our upcoming return to Athens event to promote senior recruitment, and learn about the upcoming bus tour to Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Ohio University Alumni Association. You may also be interested in learning about how to become an Ohio University Advocate. 

This program is separate from SOA, but we work in partnership with the Alumni Association through this program.  To learn more, visit the advocacy site.

Thank you for your support of Ohio University and for your interest in the Society of Advocates.
