Jack Trice Character Award

Memorial Union
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 concerts, 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.
