What We Do

Have you noticed the “UPC SUPPORTS” or “GO BENGALS!” boards all around campus? Wondering what UPC is? We

are the Union Program Council, a cohort of 5 students who work collaboratively to plan the Student Union’s

traditional campus events and establish new ones. 

Our goals are to create an additional dimension in student involvement

through diverse events and community service opportunities, to partner with the

ISU community and promote student success. We bring you events like Week of Welcome, the Homecoming Parade,

Stress Busters, ITVS Community Cinema, Blood Drives, etc. This year, we are organizing new activities such as

sponsored trips to major performances, sporting events and concerts, “Late

Nights at the Union,” and much more.
