EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2015-2016

“It is an exciting

time as the Illini Union charts its future, continuing to be the premier college student union.”

Illini Union

The 2015-2016 Illini Union Annual Report provides insight into the activities and progress towards objectives during the past academic year. Our mission, vision, values, and goals have provided crucial direction to drive the organization’s work and focus its priorities. The Illini Union’s overall goal is to serve as the campus community center and to complement the academic mission of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

This is achieved by building an inclusive community and providing engaging programs, outstanding services, and state-of-the-art facilities. The Illini Union’s commitment to its mission, vision, and values is the cornerstone of our tradition of excellent performance.

With nearly two and half million visitors annually, the Illini Union continues to thrive as a reflection of the vibrant and diverse student body of Illinois, and serves as the iconic student center of campus. We are working to guarantee that the Illini Union will remain a campus landmark well into the future. The Illini Union is engaging students and other campus and community stakeholders by encouraging them to participate in sessions that will allow us to develop a comprehensive plan that provides a well-maintained, state-ofthe-art facility offering inviting, comfortable, flexible spaces with cutting-edge programs for the next 30 years. As this work progresses, we continue to be innovative through the implementation of new programs and services that meet the campus community’s evolving wants and needs.

The Illini Union provides growth and development opportunities through each of its programs and services. The Illini Union Board, Courtyard Café, Office of Volunteer Programs, and Rec Room hosted over 400 events with more than 70,000 participants this past year. Our Student Programs and Activities staff worked with 1,369 Registered Student Organizations and processed nearly 22,000 space requests last year, as well. The Parent and Family Programs Office partnered with New Student Programs to host an International Family Welcome. Nearly 150

family members attended, learning about the resources and services available to them as members of the Illinois family. The Office of Volunteer Programs collected 1,885 pounds of food, 300 toys, and distributed 221 Thanksgiving Baskets to those in need in our community. Our retail student employees served over one million customers across multiple operations. All of these co-curricular experiences help our students grow during their college years and prepare them for the future.

The Illini Union welcomed new members to our operations team with the opening of Starbucks in the Courtyard Café and KoFusion in our food court. We also partnered with the College of Engineering to open an Einstein Bros. Bagels in Siebel Center; with the College of Engineering and University Libraries to open Espresso Royale in Grainger Library; and with the College of Veterinary Medicine to open Einstein Bros. Bagels in the Veterinary Medical Hospital. The Illini Union implemented all of these new services based on data collected from our annual assessment of our students, faculty, and staff.

In conclusion, our success is only possible with the passion and commitment of the Illini Union staff and students. Their dedication and efforts, along with the contributions from Illini Union partners and volunteers defines our culture of excellence. It is an exciting time as the Illini Union charts its future, continuing to be the premier college student union.

Sincerely,

Scott A. McCartney Interim Director

Students at the grand opening of the Illini Union Courtyard Café Starbucks

FOSTER COLLABORATION, DISCOVERY AND INNOVATION • The second Starbucks store opened in Fall 2015 in the Illini Union Courtyard Café.

This past year, nearly 445,000 customers were served at the two Starbuck’s locations (the first being located in the Illini Union Bookstore).

444,091 CUSTOMERS WERE SERVED AT THE UNION’S TWO STARBUCKS LOCATIONS.

• Retail Operations partnered with the College of Engineering to open Einstein Bros. Bagels in Siebel Center; with the College of Engineering and University Libraries to open Espresso Royal in Grainger Library; and with the College of Veterinary Medicine to open Einstein Bros.

Bagels in the Veterinary Medical Hospital.

KoFusion was identified by students as one of their top food choices through the annual Skyfactor survey.

• Illini Union Student Programs and Activities received a Great Plays Grant of $20,000 awarded by MillerCoors to be used for alcohol-free programming.

Programming for Courtyard Café, Illini Union Board Illinites, and Spring Jam 2016 all shared in funding from the grant.

• Spring Jam 2016 received $8,000 from the Student Affairs Illinois Experience Fund grant. Spring Jam, now in its second year, is a collaborative effort between the Illini Union, State Farm Center, IUB, and Starcourse.

Illini Union

• The Illini Union Board (IUB) hosted 156 events during 2015-2016. More than 27,523 participants attended these events over the course of the year.

• The Courtyard Café hosted 108 programs in 2015-2016, with more than 3,700 people attending the events. Each of the events was co-sponsored with at least one Registered Student Organization and/or academic unit.

• The Office of Volunteer Programs (OVP) received a Student Affairs Strategic Initiative Grant (SIG) to help offset funding of the iENGAGE programs. The service weekend trips took 136 domestic and international students to four locations this year: St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Cincinnati.

• In Spring 2016, OVP worked with the Illini Union Marketing Department to develop the best way to set up a blog. The OVP graduate assistant then collaborated with student staff to begin publishing regular blog posts focused on both OVP programs and volunteer opportunities for students across campus.

A total of ten blogs were published during the spring semester, and staff members developed a guide to continue the blog next school year.

• Parent and Family Programs Office (PFPO), in collaboration with New Student Programs and the Illini Union Marketing Department, produced a welcome video that was emailed to incoming first-year families prior to Summer Registration, as an introduction to staff and to summer orientation. The email boosted pre-registration sign-ups for PFPO communications, and supported additional sign-ups during the days families were on campus for the program.

Registered Student Organization office

• Illini Union Marketing partnered with Campus Recreation Marketing to form a single marketing team offering enhanced services to all departments and capitalizing on economies of scale in terms of advertising, materials, staff, and systems.

• The Illini Union Marketing Team created all design and marketing materials for the Illini Success program, a campus-wide program spearheaded by The Career Center and supported by the Provost’s Office, the Division of Management Information, the Office of the Registrar, the Institutional Review Board Office, the Council of Undergraduate Deans and all undergraduate colleges, the Career Services Council, and many more partners.

The program provides grads with the opportunity to share their stories in order to give evidence of success after graduating from Illinois.

PROVIDE TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES • The Illini Union Hotel established a new internship through the Hospitality Management Program in the College of ACES. The first intern began in May 2016.

• Learning outcomes were created for student employees throughout the organization with assistance from the Illini Union Human Resources. Student positions are developed strategically to offer intentional learning opportunities that will serve students throughout their collegiate career and beyond graduation, giving them an advantage over peers.

• OVP expanded its service weekend trips that allowed students to engage together in service on six trips in four different locations: St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Student Group leaders helped staff members facilitate the programs as participants got to know each other and take part in service projects in the respective cities. In total, 136 students were able to participate.

STEWARD CURRENT RESOURCES AND GENERATE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR STRATEGIC INVESTMENT • A collaboration of the RSO, Event Services Office, Marketing, and IT resulted in a new online space request form for Illini Union reservations. The improved process decreases the number of steps students must take to reserve space for their events and programs, and streamlines work for staff.

• Illini Union Facilities staff collaborated with Cannon Design and Facilities & Services on a complete Facility Condition Audit of the current infrastructure of the Illini Union building and the projected costs to renovate and replace existing systems.
