Holbrook Student Union
Engagement Central
The Holbrook Student Union complex serves as the central clearinghouse for diverse student life programs and activities designed to engage students in University and community life, recognize student academic and success, and promote linkages with key community stakeholders. Encompassing over 75,000 square feet, these facilities are headquarters for multiple student-funded and student-led initiatives that add value to the collegiate experience by nurturing leadership development; promoting philanthropy and service to others; creating awareness about local, regional, and global cultural issues; providing social and entertainment events; and fostering advocacy for an array of student and campus concerns. Holbrook Student Union houses several venues utilized for campus programs, campus dining options, and offices for student entities. The facility is often referred to as the family room for the campus.
