Club History

The University Club serves as a common meeting place for faculty from all disciplines across the university and nearby post-secondary institutions. It's goal is the promotion of friendship, fellowship, and intellectual association amongst faculty members and all university members - new and old!

The Faculty Club was opened in 1964. It is administered and financed entirely by its members. An Executive Committee is elected by club members each year. This committee provides oversight and long-term planning for the Club. Daily operation of the Club is administered by a Manager, who is appointed by the Executive Committee.
