Get to know Union’s student government

Student Association

Union’s Student Association is in charge of planning events and facilitating student life on campus. Maurie Andino, SA president, has monthly meetings with Dr. Sauder and is available as a representative of student interests to administration.

Student Senate

The Student Senate is a forum for student representation to discuss issues that relate to campus life. They convey recommendations and proposals from the student body to administration. The members of the senate represent four different districts of Union College: Rees Hall, Prescott Hall, Culver Hall and Village Students. All together there are twelve senators. At this moment, the senators are not yet announced, but once they are, you can bring any concerns about campus life you have to them.

Diversity Council

The Diversity Council was created to “improve diversity practices, inclusion, equality and global understanding within the campus community.” They specifically deal with issues in the nature of race/ethnicity, gender, ability and religious or spiritual practices. The council brings recommendations to the Diversity team and Student Association about policy-related issues, strategies, timelines and more. You can reach out to the Diversity Council with questions or concerns through their email: uniondiversitycouncil@ucollege.edu.

Their services also entail vehicle registration and parking, a 24 hour patrol of campus, overseeing campus surveillance systems, safety escorts and Lost and Found. You can reach out for help with jump starting your vehicle or tire changes. You can reach 24/7 service at 402-486-2911.
