What is Club Downunder/Union Productions?
Club Downunder/Union Productions (CDU/UP) is Florida State University's (FSU) student-run programming board! It is one of the most respected programs in the nation, hosting concerts, comedians, special events, and more on campus in Tallahassee. Over fifty students oversee every aspect of the organization: from planning and producing events and marketing and promotions, to sound production and hospitality. This means that 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—is all orchestrated by a dedicated group of FSU undergraduates.
Where is Club Downunder?
CDU is located on the FSU Tallahassee campus at 75 N. Woodward Ave., in the Student Union, lower level.
Mission Statement
CDU provides captivating, entertaining, and enriching entertainment for FSU. To foster student leadership and professional development, we empower students to cultivate their own events, ranging from concerts, comedy shows and lectures to special events, all of which are student-run from inception to completion.
Weekly Programming Meetings
Everyone is welcome to come discuss potential events and co-sponsorships at the weekly programming meetings. For more information about the meetings, please email upprogramming@admin.fsu.edu.
