This conference is sponsored by Olin Students for Awesome

awe·some (ô's?m)
adj.

1.Inspiring awe: an awesome thunderstorm.

2.Expressing awe: stood in awesome silence before the ancient ruins.

3.Slang. Remarkable; outstanding: “a totally awesome arcade game” (Los Angeles Times).

4.Of or relating to human rights, social entrepreneurship, sustainability, or the general saving of the world.

The fourth usage of Awesome, which is always capitalized, is not actually in any dictionaries anywhere. Yet. But a group of students from Olin College of Engineering decided saving the world was just that— Awesome— and worth some time and a club.

OSA has a general mission of bringing together students and others who want to make a difference, do something to help, and save the world. Dealing primarily with issues such as human rights, social entrepreneurship, and sustainability, we thrive on all things dedicated to making the world livable, green, and, of course, Awesome.
