mGreetings Fellow UnionitesMake plans to come back home this year for a special weekend

of events celebrating all that God has done, is doing and will do

at Union University. There will be special events to look back at

significant times in our history as we celebrate class reunions and

the 40-year anniversary of the campus move north of I-40. We

can join together to celebrate what is taking place currently on

the campus as we dedicate the new library facility and watch our

NCAA DII athletes compete. After a weekend together, you will

have a renewed sense of excitement at what the future holds for

our alma mater. Call your classmates and your old roommates.

Send word to your pledge class and your old research partner.

There is no better time than now to make your trip back home.
