What We Do
Right off the quad, the Student Union is the heartbeat of student life on campus, a place of chance encounters, late night study sessions over pizza, and an unwavering RIC spirit that echoes in its halls.

Social Media
Dedicated to student voice and governance, the Student Union houses our Student Community Government, all the student organization offices including our Student Programming Board, Greek Life, and the student-run marketing department (SA).
Home to RIC Spirit
The Student Union is also home to Student Activities, the Military Resource Center, and Student Union Programming. You can get a quick bite at the Beestro on the lower level while you check your mailbox, and then head upstairs for the Student ID office and our bookstore. There’s a sky bridge that connects the Student Union with our Dining Hall, where you can also find the Unity Center. Right behind the Student Union is the Ducey Media Center that houses the student newspaper, The Anchor, our radio station WXIN, and Anchor TV.

Student Community Government
Founded in 1972 with the original goal of being the voice for all students, the Student Community Government (SCG) continues today, with even more responsibility. Now, SCG recognizes and funds current and new student organizations on campus, which then provide engaging events and opportunities for our student body.
