The Student Oceanographic Society (SOS) is a student run organization created to promote, inform, and improve both undergraduate and graduate education in oceanography at the University of Washington. Membership is open to any University of Washington student regardless of their academic plan of study. There are no dues or requirements for participation in SOS activities. COME and JOIN US!

The Student Oceanographic Society meets every First Friday of the month at 4pm in the SOS lounge. Meeting topics vary between guest speakers (such as Professors and graduate students) and activities. The lounge is located in OTB (MAP) Room 209, along with the foosball table. Please feel welcome to use the room anytime to study, hang out, have lunch.

The lounge should be unlocked during normal daytime hours. Feel free to use it to study, have lunch, meet with study groups, play foosball, avoid studying, whatever; use it as you wish! The bookshelves hold several volumes of Limnology and Oceanography, oceanography textbooks, and even some ocean-related fiction, along with the SOS photo album.

For upcoming events, please check the Oceanography department calendar.
