Kehr Student Union

The Kehr Union Welcome Desk is a centralized student-staffed resource hub for information about what’s happening within Kehr Student Union and how to get involved with campus life!

It’s located on the 3rd floor directly between the Husky Lounge and Kehr Union Multi 345B.

The KUOSI student staff (Kehr Union Operations Student Involvement) are the ambassadors of Kehr Union who provide a caring, helping hand to those they serve each day.  With a pulse on campus life, they assist with the management of the many day-to-day functions that are crucial to the success of Kehr Union operations. They conduct hourly rounds within Kehr Union to promote the safety and well-being of its occupants, answer questions and continually assess the culture and experience being offered within the building.

Staff members are cross-trained in and assigned to collaboratively work in a variety of areas within Kehr Union including, but not limited to, Welcome Desk, Games Room, Campus Events, KUB Operational set-ups, Student Activities/Involvement Office administration, HuskySync, equipment inventory control and student organizational support initiatives.

In addition, KUOSI staff partner up with the Community Government Association (CGA), Program Board (PB), Council of Class Officers (COCO) and Committee on Student Organizations (COSO) to provide a well-rounded, diverse student experience where opportunities to get involved are facilitated and new friendships can thrive.
