Built with student fee dollars, contributions from faculty and staff and a significant commitment from community donors, the Union has continued to play a significant role augmenting the classroom. The most significant private donation came from Donald P. and Katherine B. Loker, which led to the formal naming of the building. With 57,710 square feet of space, the Loker University Student Union has attempted to provide a high quality mix of services and programs that serve the university and the local community. Its location and mix of services makes it a center of activity at any time of the day. The 16 member Board comprised of representatives of students, faculty, staff and administration guides the Union staff in providing services and programs, determining policies and procedures and overseeing the fiscal operations of the corporation.
Student fees make up the majority of the overall budget.
Additional revenue is generated from the game room, ticket sales, vendor rental and facility use by both campus and non-campus groups. A department within the Division of Student Affairs, oversight of the Student Union is the responsibility of the director reports to the Associate Vice President for Student Life. Additionally, the staff includes a Program Coordinator, Facilities Scheduler, Document Processor, Facilities Maintenance Coordinator, Floors Maintenance Technician, and two custodians. Several student assistants compliment the full-time staff. Additional hours are added for special events and reduced hours of service are offered during non-academic periods.
