Welcome
Welcome to the Skutt Student Center
The Skutt Student Center is the campus living room and a central focus for the development of the campus community. As a college union, the building serves as an important venue for university programs and meetings. It provides a setting for leisure time activities and services to foster social interaction and collegial exchange. The offices of student government and Student Activities coordinate student programs and provide resources from their offices located on midlevel.
As a campus center, the building hosts major University events, departmental meetings, and social gatherings for alumni and friends. Dominating the three-story building is a skylight atrium that transcends the wide, terraced grand stairway to the ground floor. The primary facility of the building is a subterranean, multipurpose ballroom that can be divided into seven rooms. In addition, meeting rooms and a boardroom complete the 10,000 square feet of space available for reservations. Operated primarily with student fees and self-generated income, the building boasts a variety of activities, food service venues, lounges, and recreation areas. Opened in 1987, the Student Center is named for its benefactors, former Mutual of Omaha executive V. J. Skutt and his wife Angela.
