The
Role of Student Unions
What exactly is the main role of a
student union? If you asked 10 people you would most likely get 10 different
answers. The student union at a university is a place on campus that is the
center of the university. A college union is a large based organization or
space on that particular campus that has the goal to enrich student life. This
including academics, intramural sports, clubs, recreational programs, and so
much more!
According to eds.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.uky.edu/ghost/detail
Student Unions are one of the top five most important locations on college
campuses as far as academic standards and an enriched college experience. Which
means being able to be involved with the club or organization of your choice
while still being able to succeed in the classroom!
Student Unions are a
student-centered organization that values success in all areas of the college
student. Unions are consisted of boards, volunteers, committees, and employed college
students at that particular university. They truly give you so many
opportunities. You can grow in so many ways including public speaking skills,
hands on work, group effectiveness, and just really improve you overall as a
person.
They are traditionally looked at/perceived
as the heart or the center of the campus. Not only taking about location, but
talking about student involvement, a great place to grab a bite to eat, and
associate with friends. The student union is the gathering place/ meeting place
for a university. Providing conveniences and services that students and faculty
members need in their lives. They create a place that is not only built for
learning, communicating, and growing, but for understanding. When I state that I
mean understanding the different ways that different people enjoy and succeed in
their lives. Student Unions give an overall since of community that is
impossible for anyone in the college community to overlook.
I think student unions are very important to students and they all should know more about the role of it. I was not exactly sure what it real was and what they can provide for us, but I am glad you decided to write about it, it really helped me.
