|
The Associated Students, Inc., is a separate corporate entity responsible for the
administration and oversight of the Julian A. McPhee
University Union- and ASI- funded programs and services. The Lease Agreement between the Trustees
and ASI sets forth the terms and conditions under which the auxiliary may
operate as an auxiliary organization and designates lease rights to the
Julian A. McPhee University Union. The term University Union refers to both
the facility and related programs.
The University Union is an important aspect of campus
life at Cal Poly, providing facilities and programs for recreation,
entertainment and information, as well as conference rooms and food service
establishments. The
policy-recommending body for the University Union is the University Union
Advisory Board, working through
recommendations from ASI staff and approval by the University President or
designee.
The purpose of the University Union program is to
challenge each student, faculty member, staff member and alumnus to explore
new ideas, experience new activities and continue development of his/her
intellectual, physical, social, emotional and ethical well being. To this
end, the University Union offers recreational, cultural and developmental
programs as well as a community atmosphere in which students can learn and
practice leadership and interpersonal skills. The University Union is a place
where everyone can feel welcome and valued in a pleasant, warm and supportive
environment.
