The Welcome Desk in Coffman Memorial Union can answer questions related to the student unions and the University of Minnesota. The Welcome Desk is located on the first floor of the building. Student employees at the desk can typically provide support as you search for a specific building on campus, an event in a student union space, information about the Universal Transit Pass, who to talk to about getting involved in student groups or events on campus, and more! Services offered at the Welcome Desk include the Universal Transit Pass activation terminal, posting on the building posting locations, and Lost and Found.
