Department Summary

The Erb Memorial Union (EMU) is a department of the Division of Student Life. The EMU is a multifaceted auxiliary service that employs over 90 professional staff and 400 student staff, and serves over 15 thousand daily users during the academic year. The EMU welcomes students, faculty, staff, the community and visitors to campus, and its mission is to provide learning experiences and opportunities for personal growth in an open, inclusive, and resource-rich community where students and staff collaborate to inspire and sustain extraordinary programs and services that promote diversity and social interaction. The EMU is student centered and is operated in collaboration with a student Board, who are actively involved in determining the character and scope of the department and approve the budget recommendations of all EMU services and programs.

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) focuses on two main areas: Resource Center and Student Activities Board.
The CSI Resource Center is a unique collaborative program between the EMU and ASUO. Both ASUO student organizations and other UO student organizations will have access to advising, training, and resources in a space which they can call home. Our Vision is to be a hub of information and resources where student organizations can create, build, and connect students through fun events, services, and traditions.
The Student Activities Board, through multiple teams, creates events that are desired by the UO student population and provide students with opportunities for social and intellectual development. Event content will vary from themed parties to intimate concerts; they will include long standing traditions and adaptive new creations all to fill the needs of UO Students.

Position Summary
