Each year Student Support Fees are allocated to the Memorial Union. The funding is primarily intended to help defray annual operating costs, with excess funds targeted for improvements at the Memorial Union. Projects are planned with student input whenever possible. The improvements you see in the Memorial Union result directly from the Student Support Fee contributions. THANK YOU!
You are encouraged to communicate your ideas for future projects through one of the students organizations or contact me directly.
