About
Built in 1974, the Student Union at Northeastern Illinois University is the center of student activity on campus. Located in the heart of the campus, the Student Union provides lounges, meeting rooms, and the cafeteria. The union also houses the Information Center where one may rent a locker, purchase tickets for local events, obtain a student ID card, and receive campus information.  The administrative offices for Student Activities and Sodexho Food Services are also housed in the Student Union.

Mission
To aid in a vibrant campus life by providing experiences, services and facilities that allow students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests to enrich their academic and personal development.

Vision
We strive to become the center of campus life for Northeastern Illinois University, and to be seen as the benchmark for College and University Unions.

What is the Student Union?
What it is not, is (just) a building.  It is, however, a student-centered philosophy that enhances campus life by creating and supporting community.

This philosophy is manifested through programs, services, facilities and experiences that compliment the educational mission of a College/University.

Often housed in a campus facility (or multiple facilities) known as the College/Student Union, it should be understood that the spirit of the Student Union is not limited to the boundaries of a physical structure.
