A BRIEF HISTORY
Union Productions is a student run programming board, with 20 student employees and 20-30 other active volunteers assisting throughout the year. All aspects of the organization are run by students, including event booking, graphic and web design, hospitality, event staffing and management, production, and everything else you can possibly imagine.

In the mid-60’s the first student run programming board at Florida State University was created, the Union Program Council (UPC). Around 1970 the board changed its name to the Leisure Programs Office (LPO) and again in 1979 the name changed to the Union Program Office (UPO). Finally, in 1983, the organization changed its name to Student Campus Entertainment (SCE) and remained that way until 2005. Over the years the organization has been responsible been responsible for planning PowWow, the films series (in Moore Auditorium), major concerts in the Moon and Civic Center, operation of the Club Downunder, late night programming initiatives, and many different special events.

As the organization has grown and new facilities on campus were created, a few of these responsibilities have changed (i.e. the Student Life Building programming the film series in it’s state-of-the-art theater in 2000; the Club Downunder becoming it’s own entity to plan club concerts in 2001; and PowWow becoming it’s own organization as well in 1999). In the fall of 2005, the Club Downunder programming board and SCE were joined together again to form Union Productions, one programming board responsible for all special events and concerts planned by the Oglesby Union.
