Alcorn State University - Oakland Memorial Chapel

The mission of the Union is to provide a cultural, social, and recreational space that connects students to the campus experience while cooperatively offering co-curricular opportunities to support student academic success and social belonging.

The Union, through programming and operations, encourages self-directed activity, giving maximum opportunity for self-realization and for growth in individual social competency and group effectiveness. In the Union, we are not only developing Students, we are developing Intellects.

The 67,000 square foot Union is a multi-level facility that boasts numerous student services offices, student programming spaces, and restaurant facilities for Alcorn students to enjoy!
