The Student Union you! We are UC Berkeley's official Student Union.

The Student Union at UC Berkeley provides developmental resources outside of a student’s academic experience at UC Berkeley. Our programs and services add value to students by allowing them to enhance their co-curricular experience beyond the classroom.
