Union Board

The Hulman Memorial Student Union Board (Union Board) strives to provide educational, social, recreational and cultural programs for the benefit of the ISU community. The Union Board consists of five committees, each offering opportunities to learn valuable work skills while meeting new people and making new friends. Union Board members serve as role models for other students through goal setting, advanced planning, evaluation, and follow through on assigned projects and committee work. The Union Board also plays a pivotal role in the planning and execution of Homecoming, Spring Week, and Sycamore Sessions. You can visit those pages to learn more!

The Union Board meets every Thursday from 5-6pm in HMSU 521.
