The Centennial Student Union is the students’ House of Serendipity offering pleasant surprises that INVITE, INVOLVE and INSPIRE.
"I like to call the Union the House of Serendipity. You go for one think and you get more than you bargained for. It's inescapable. It gets into your head and into your heart, and you're never quite the same again. The right Union will change you." - the late C. Shaw Smith, Association of College Unions International
A new promotional video for the Centennial Student Union features a diverse group of students sharing the services, sights and sounds of the students’ House of Serendipity. Created for the CSU by staff and students with the IT Solutions Video & Digital Team, the 4:45-minute video features 23 different student hosts moving through key areas of the CSU.
