My Iona

Student Union

The Robert V. LaPenta Student Union is a hub of activity at the center of Iona's campus. The Student Union provides enhanced dining opportunities with a food court and bistro where students share meals and conversation; a commons/lounge area for relaxing between classes; a campus store; a state-of-the-art media center; and offices for student services and campus organizations where students can discover opportunities for joining, serving and broadening their perspectives.

The Student Union is the direct result of tremendous generosity to the University from Robert V. LaPenta '67, '00H in the amount of $6 million.
