OCCHIATO CENTER
The Occhiato University Center ascribes to the “Role
of the College Union” developed by the Association of
College Unions International which states that:
1. The union is the community center for the college,
for all members of the college family - students,
faculty, administration, alumni, and guests. It is not
just a building: it is also an organization and a
program. Together they represent a wellconsidered
plan for the community life of the
college.
2. As the “living room” or “hearthstone” of the
college, the union provides for the services,
conveniences, and amenities the members of the
college family need in their daily life on campus
and for getting to know and understand one
another through informal association outside the
classroom.
3. The union is part of the educational program of
the college. As the center of college life, it serves
as a laboratory of citizenship, training students in
social responsibility and for leadership in our
democracy. Through its various boards, committees,
and staff, it provides a cultural, social, and
recreational program aiming to make free-time
activity a cooperative factor with study in education.
In all its processes it encourages self-directed
activity, giving maximum opportunity for selfrealization
and for growth in individual social
competency and group effectiveness. Its goal is
the development of persons as well as intellects.
4. The union serves as a unifying force in the life of
the college, cultivating enduring regard for and
loyalty to the college.
