Mission
What is Club Downunder/Union Productions?
Union Productions is FSU’s student-run programming board! Over fifty students oversee every aspect of the organization: from planning, producing events, marketing, and promotions, to sound production and hospitality. This means that a dedicated group of FSU undergraduates orchestrates everything that goes into making Union Productions’ events fantastic — from booking performers, to setting up dressing rooms, to coordinating audio-visual requests, to advertising lineups.
Mission Statement
Union Productions provides captivating, inclusive and enriching entertainment for Florida State University. To foster student leadership and professional development, we empower students to cultivate their own events, ranging from concerts, comedy and lectures to special events, all of which are student-run from inception to completion.
What is Club Downunder?
Club Downunder is FSU's very own on-campus entertainment venue! Named one of Consequence of Sound's 100 Greatest American Music Venues in 2016, Club Downunder has been around for decades in this location and its stage has been host to many great names in entertainment history. At Club Downunder, you will find indie, punk, hip-hop, dance, drag, jazz, improv, standup, and everything in between. Club Downunder is always free for FSU students, so be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming events.
A Brief HistoryIn the mid-’60s 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 the name changed again in 1979 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, the operation of the Club Downunder, late night programming initiatives, and many different special events.
As the organization has grew and as new facilities on campus were created, a few of those responsibilities changed (i.e. the Student Life Building programming the film series in its state-of-the-art theater in 2000, the Club Downunder becoming its 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 once again to form Union Productions, one programming board responsible for all special events and concerts planned by the Oglesby Union.
