Simulated Intelligence Mission
The S&I Club organizes a Simulated Intelligence Mission on campus during the spring. This security and intelligence workshop involves a complicated, multi‐actor scenario during which the skills of agent, analyst, and policymaker are taught to about a dozen participants. Field operations include conducting an interrogation in a foreign language, decoding operative profiles, defusing a fake bomb, executing dead drops, trailing suspects, and analyzing intelligence. On April 1, 2017, the club partnered with Stratcon Initiative for the workshop. Though application based, no prior knowledge is required. Past participants have described the mission as a fun, rewarding experience.

9/11 Day of Remembrance
The S&I Club is honored to organize the 9/11 Day of Remembrance for the OSU community. In Fall 2012, OSU switched from the quarter system to semesters, and for the first time OSU was in session to commemorate the 9/11 attacks. The S&I Club felt that there should be an opportunity for the campus to remember the tragic events and to honor the victims and heroes of that day. The 9/11 Day of Remembrance has now become an annual event hosted by the S&I Club. On September 11, 2013, the club organized a blood drive and memorial event in accordance with the National Day of Service and Remembrance. This year, Browning Amphitheater was again filled with students and staff wishing to pay their respects and never forget.
The 9/11 Memorial Ceremony of 2012 received an Outstanding Student Organization Programming Award - Collaboration from the Ohio Union.
Student Veteran Appreciation Event
Our Student Veteran Appreciation Event in February 2013 was a collaborative effort led by S&I Club for the university. We partnered with Sigma Iota Rho, Vets4Vets, and the Psychology Club to host a resource fair and appreciation dinner for our student veterans. This event spurred the student body to give thanks to their fellow Buckeyes who served in the military and mobilized the veteran affairs organizations to one convenient location for optimal dissemination of all benefits available on campus. As S&I Club expands, we plan on continuing to organize activities for the entire university.
