ACUI

The Association of College Unions International (ACUI) is one of the oldest associations in higher education, dating back to 1914. ACUI’s essential and enduring tenets are core values — a small set of timeless, guiding principles that do not require external justification. They hold great intrinsic value and importance to Association members, staff and key stakeholders. Core values are so fundamental; they seldom change — if at all. These core values include unconditional human worth, joy, learning, caring community, innovation, communication and integrity.

The Union is a member of ACUI’s Region II including other member institutions from Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico. For more information visit the ACUI Region II website.
