In our second call for videos, ACUI asked you to show us how physical space in and around your facility builds community. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive entries; and we thought this would be the easy category!

It is never too late to submit a video for any category to the Show Us Yours! campaign. Grab your smartphone or video camera and get some footage of students hanging out in lounge spaces, collaborating in student organization suites, and gathering for meals in dining areas. The union is the community center of the campus, so we know there is plenty of community building happening.
