WELCOME TO STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND UNION SERVICES!
This is your place for campus entertainment, activities, and news on how to get involved in campus life. We approve student events, support student clubs, oversee fraternity and sorority life, manage the Emerging Leaders program and run the Student Union, the heart of campus life. Check us out to learn about upcoming activities and events on campus and how to get more involved in student life!
Every semester, the Office of Student Activities & Union Services hosts a student club and involvement fair on campus. This gives all students the opportunity to meet campus organizations and learn more about them. We encourage you to take the time to join a student group or attend the many campus programs that are happening on our campus. Joining a club, organization, team, fraternity or sorority is the beginning of a co-curricular program that will help you make the most of your college education.
There are many students and professionals who can assist you in making the right choice towards a co-curricular experience designed just for you. If you can't find what you are looking for in campus involvement, we invite you to stop by our offices located in Student Union 211 and take the opportunity to meet with a member of our staff.
