Getting to Know U
Diversity Overnight Experience
 |
Getting to Know U weekend at Union is a three day, two night event that occurs during Columbus Day weekend. This program is designed for high school seniors of diverse cultural backgrounds to get to know us better. The weekend has been planned to be informational and above all provide hands on experience on the college process. Prospective students will get a chance to experience a weekend on campus with special events to highlight all that Union has to offer. They will have the opportunity to interact with the college’s students and professors as they sit in on college classes and there will also be panel discussions on cultural and academic life at Union This weekend is an all expenses paid trip. All transportation and meals will be paid for by the college, but we do recommend that students bring some spending money in case they would like something extra. An application* and unofficial high school transcript are now required in order to come for the weekend. Please contact James Luciano for an application to the program at lucianoj@union.edu.
