About Us

 

Student Center Logo

The UW-Parkside Student Center received a $25 million remodel and expansion in 2009. The new name - Student Center - describes what the building is all about. Sure, it's a great place to eat, relax, hang out or grab a latte. But it's also the place where you'll find the University Bookstore, Student Involvement Center and Student Activities, and meeting rooms for student organizations. It is the center of student life.

"When I first walked in here it was not what I was expecting, it was not "typical college" ... this is a lot more like restaurant style ... it's nice. Looking forward to hanging out here." Sam Albrecht

We Are The Place To Be and hopefully you agree!
