Student Union History
The Arizona Student Unions have been around since 1951, and the history of the Unions is a mini history of the UA itself. We invite you to explore the roots of our service to students and the UA community through our interactive timeline. Enjoy the photos, articles, stories, and videos from years past while learning more about the evolution of our location and offerings.

By the time Oingo Boingo got to its sixth song, "Grey Matter" the beat and the heat were begnning to-have their way with the crowd of 800 in the Student Union ballroom on the University of Arizona campus last night. Because of a power failure at approximately 7 p.m., the air conditioning in the Student Union was off for an hour.
Wildcat: Union Gallery Exhibit examines man's cruelty to man
Joe Schmalzel's series of sculptured-wood crucifixions is both beautiful and horrifying.
