Union Board

Union Board: The heart of the IMU

Union Board is the governing body of the Indiana Memorial Union and the largest student programming organization on campus. Driven by students, Union Board plans a range of fun, entertaining, and educational events for students to come together, explore multiple world views, discuss current events, and learn from one another.

Get Involved

Join a Union Board Committee (or two)!

Programming committees are responsible for planning and executing quality programs each semester. We encourage students to get involved in a committee so that they can help decide what happens on the IU campus.

If you have questions about joining Union Board, please email ubapply@iu.edu
