A student center is a type of building found on university campuses. In the United States, such a building may be called a student union, student commons, union or student center. The term "student union" refers most often in the United States to a building, while in other nations a "students' union" is the student government. Nevertheless, the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has several hundred campus organizational members in the US; there is no sharp dichotomy in interpretation of union in this context. The US usage in reference to a location is simply a shortened form of student union building.
The first student union built at a public university in the United States was the Ohio Union (1910) at the Ohio State University. The largest student union is at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma.
History
The first student union in America was Houston Hall, at the University of Pennsylvania, which opened January 2, 1896 and remains in operation to this day. The first Ohio Union at Ohio State University was Enarson Hall. The building opened in 1911 and was the first student union to be built at a state university and the fourth of its kind in the United States.Oklahoma State University's student center opened in 1950. Subsequent additions, and renovations in 2010, have made the building one of the largest student activity centers in the world at 611,000sqft (56,800m2).
Student activities or campus activities is a broad term describing most student-focused extracurricular clubs and programs at a college or university. Student activities are generally designed to allow students to get more involved and offer them opportunities in leadership, social responsibility, citizenship, volunteerism, and student employment. These activities are typically overseen by a Director of Student Activities, Student Affairs, or Student Engagement who often holds a master's degree in student development or a comparable field. Program directors often provide guidance for clubs, set standards for student run organizations, and can also help network with other institutions through organizations like the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) or the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA).
Types of Student Activities
Student activities generally fall under one or more of the following categories:
Academic
Academic student activities refer to clubs and programming specifically focusing on scholarly endeavors. This can take the form of major-based or area of study-based clubs or programs and events designed to educate students in any scholarly subject matter.
