For close to 100 years, cherished memories and enduring traditions have echoed through the halls of the Memorial Union at Iowa State University. We celebrate the nostalgia of an M-Shop concert, events out on the terrace, frosties in the Food Court, but most importantly, we celebrate students finding their sense of community within our walls. Help create more lasting memories and new MU traditions for generations to come. Once a part of the Memorial Union, forever a true part of the Cyclone legacy.
Student Counseling Services (SCS) provides confidential prevention, intervention, information, and referral services to Iowa State students. Assistance is available for students coping with relationship problems, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, depression, cultural differences, sexual assault recovery, childhood abuse, trauma, eating disorders, substance abuse, career/major, academic motivations, and other concerns. Donor support helps ensure that most professional services are provided at no charge to students.
