Cultural
The Student Union recognizes that students face unique and societal institutional challenges in developing to their fullest cultural identity. The Union has participated in various cultural programs including Latino/a/Hispanic Heritage Month and African-American History Month and plans on expanding and lending support to various other organizations bringing forth cultural initiatives.
Holidays and Celebrations
In conjunction with the College Programming Board, The Student Union kicks off the holiday season with Season's Greetings celebration. This program includes a Live Holiday Concert supported by the UTRGV Music Department as well as our annual Adopt-a-Wreath project in which our student body creates and donates wreaths to local hospice and assisted living facilities. The celebrations continue with the Winter Holidays Around the World filled with several DIY activities and delicious food.
Novelties
The Student Union provides different options for entertainment every semester, year-round! Photo booths, Game Shows, and everything from full massage spas (oxygen bar included) to personalized take-aways, the Student Union is the one-stop fun shop on campus!
Vaquero Spirit
The Student Union imbues every activity that we host with the Vaquero Spirit. We promote Vaquero pride across all of our programs and we are consistently working toward developing an engaging environment where school spirit cans flourish and grow!
Special Interest
The Student Union's programs are dynamic and varied. The Union is the place to find all of the latest video game release parties, billiards, poker tournaments and creative novelties. The Union is also a campus leader when it comes to collaborative programs with various departments, faculty, and staff. We host and facilitate LGBTQ+ efforts, health, and safety initiatives, as well as other forms of wellness in an effort to be more engaging and inclusive.
