Southeastern Oklahoma State University is in a new phase of growth and achievement. Today, new buildings and renovations totaling $63 million are under way! In the midst of this progressive environment, there is a single initiative that draws together all students, alumni, faculty, staff , and friends. It is the completion of…

The New Southeastern Student Union

The new Student Union will be the center of campus life and student services for the next 50 years. We need your help to finish the project. Th is is an extraordinary moment in Southeastern’s history, and you can participate by buying at least one SQUARE FOOT of Southeastern’s future for $250. The completion of this new keystone structure depends on you and your support.

Located in the northeast corner of the University loop, between the bookstore and the Choctaw/Chickasaw Tower residence halls, the new Student Union Building rests in the heart of the campus. It will be the first building open in the morning and the last building to close in the evening. The Student Union Building is three stories tall, has 58,049 square feet, and will house the new student dining facilities, lounges and conference rooms, wellness and recreation areas, the student government offices, and many other areas that will serve the student population. The funding sources to date include:

  • State Bond/Master Lease Program
  • (Paid through Student fees)—$9.7 million
  • University Funds—$2.0 million
  • Private Funding—$2.8 million

Private funding! That is where you can help! Your gift to the Student Union is a great way to invest in the future of your University.

If you will participate in the SQUARE FOOT campaign by purchasing one square foot for you and each member of your family, you literally will be laying the foundation for Southeastern’s future. Your support is greatly needed.

The Student Union dedication will be held at 10:00 a.m. October 14 during Homecoming 2006. We would like for you and your family members to be recognized as BUY A SQUARE FOOT supporters at this grand occasion. Please send your support today and plan to attend the dedication ceremony.
