The mission of University Unions is to enhance the student experience and enrich campus life by providing cultural, educational, social and recreational programs as well as related goods and services to the campus community.

Unions spaces include the Texas Union, William C. Powers, Jr. Student Activity Center, Hogg Memorial Auditorium and several additional managed spaces that serve as community centers for The University of Texas at Austin. Our facilities offer spaces for studying, programming, events, gatherings and varied food options. In addition, there are outdoor gathering spaces, patios, and mobile food truck locations for the campus community.

Campus Events + Entertainment (E+E) is the premier student programming organization on campus.  With over 120 events annually, there is something for everyone.  E+E offers students an array of concerts, movies, lectures, celebrations, campus traditions, theater productions, trivia nights, and more.  Through volunteer opportunities, students can strengthen leadership experience, self-expression, and management skills. 

The Board of Directors recommends policy for University Unions. The voting membership of the board includes six students and three faculty members. The executive director of University Unions as well as an appointee of the vice president for student affairs, serve as ex officio members without vote.
