2020 Memorial Union Awards Ceremony

Although this isn't how we planned to celebrate our staff and students, we made the best of it - and made a video! We went virtual, but the accolades were still heartfelt, and we appreciate our Memorial Union family now more than ever. Plus, the side benefit of an all-online awards ceremony is that we can view it over and over (see below)! Read on for more of what made the MU the best it could be this year.

Service Pin Recipients

Sorry to anyone else on campus but the Memorial Union has the actual best staff of any team at Iowa State. Need the proof? Our staff members stick around and continue to help Iowa State and the MU shine. Congrats to this year's service pin recipients.
