About Us

The idea for a Student Union was born in 1945, and use of the word "Memorial" reflects students' sentiments to dedicate the building as a living monument to the memory of those UND students and graduates who died during World War II. In the years that followed, students and alumni worked together to raise funds and petition the State Board of Higher Education to approve a student fee of $5 per semester to help fund the building. After years of fund-raising, planning and construction, the Memorial Student Union was dedicated on May 18, 1951. For the first time in UND history, a central place to meet, obtain daily services, and sponsor activities was created. Since then, the Memorial Union underwent two name changes, two additions (an east addition in 1964 and a west addition in 1983), and over 50 renovations and facility improvements.

Today, the Memorial Union is home to more than 30 University and commercial activities, as well as a variety of meeting rooms, study areas, TV lounges and over 300 full time and student employees. When taken together, the Memorial Union provides a number of essential services that are available to a campus community of over 15,000 students, faculty, staff, visitors, and others. The Memorial Union also remains a living monument to its patriotic roots, symbolizing the commitment and pride students and alumni have long had for the University of North Dakota.
