minaret moment
coming together Built in 1962, the University Union (now the Riverside Center) became the center of cocurricular activities for students. The Union housed a cafeteria, bookstore and television lounge on the first floor, and a game room and offices on the second floor. Today, though the traditional functions of a university union have shifted to the Vaughn Center, the Riverside Center still bustles with activity, housing the post office, career services, classrooms and alumni office.
