Summer Hours

Welcome to the Hobson Memorial Union's Web site! We're glad you stopped by to check us out and hope you'll find our site helpful to you as a BSU student, organization leader/advisor, alumni/ae, guest or community member.

The Hobson Union, celebrating our 45th year in 2013, provides a variety of services and programs to the campus and community. From the updated Foodcourt and Hobson Harbor for Organizations (H20): A Center for Student Involvement, to Student Senate and CAB, to the Scheduling Office and Information Desk, and our newest addition, the Excellence in Leadership Center, you will find a friendly and resourceful staff of students and professionals ready and available to meet your needs. The Touché Gallerie, C-3 variety store, Sustainability Office and University Bookstore compliment our operations and provide additional connections for students.

The Union is the living room or "Great Room" for the campus community and plays an integral role in the educational mission of the University. It provides programs which build a sense of community, and services and products to enhance the quality of life for BSU students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests, with particular emphasis on students. The Union fosters an environment that promotes respect for all people and values diversity, leadership development, the environment, civic engagement and the free exchange of ideas.

Stop by anytime you're "in the neighborhood" and let us connect you to an exciting world of vibrant opportunities and excellent service.

Did you know?

HMU is "powered" by wind energy.

Thanks to the student fee- funded purchase of 616,000 kilowatt- hours of wind energy per month which is the approximate usage of the Hobson Memorial Union. Bemidji State University is now the largest Ottertail Power Company wind energy customer in its tri state region.

The Environment

Even though the electricity we use in the Union- for lights, computers, etc.- is not coming directly from Ottertail's turbine, through our purchase we are supporting efforts to reduce pollution caused by conventional sources of energy. 

It's just one way BSU is striving to be a better environmental steward.

Look Who Turned 40!!
