GETTING TO KNOW UNION

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Last updated August 1, 2024

Union College will be hosting an overnight college preview event for high-achieving students from diverse backgrounds. This event is designed to allow students to learn more about our academic offerings; give them an authentic view of what life can be like at Union; and provide opportunities to engage with current students, faculty and college leaders.

Because we understand that traveling may pose a significant financial burden for many families, the College will provide transportation and campus meals for all students in attendance.
