University Unions

The three University Unions buildings serve as "homes" to many student organizations. Getting involved in a student organization is a great way to  learn skills that may not be available as part of a formal academic curriculum and have fun at the same time!

University Unions houses and provides a comprehensive array of offices and services to assist student organizations. Maize Pages serves as the University of Michigan's online directory of over 1,000 student organizations. To get involved visit the Student Activities and Leadership Office in the Michigan Union.

Some of the larger student organizations that operate out of the unions include Michigan Student Assembly (MSA), University Activities Center (UAC), Office of Greek Life and Dance Marathon.

Any MSA-recognized student organization can reserve a meeting room in the unions. For event planning in any of the union buildings please check out this helpful student meeting planning guide.
