The George Sherman Union, built in 1962, is located at the center of the Boston
University Charles River Campus. Its primary mission is to enhance student
life outside the classroom and support educational directives of the
university through programs and services that meet the needs of a diverse
campus population.
The Union encourages intellectual and social
growth by fostering an environment for the free exchange of ideas. A variety
of leadership experiences, organizations, resources and programs are offered
within the Union. These serve as a catalyst
for students to take an active role in campus affairs and the greater global
society.
Traditionally, the “living room” of the campus, today’s
union is the gathering place of the university. The George Sherman Union continues to evolve in order to reflect the ever-changing
needs or students and staff.*
Students come to the GSU to organize events, gather and exchange information,
and meet people. It provides an atmosphere for study and conversation. As the
community center
of Boston University,
it provides cultural, social, and recreational programs that supplement
regular classroom education. The facilities of the George Sherman Union are
reserved for the exclusive use of students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Boston University.
Soliciting is prohibited and identification is required upon request.
