March 2023 Union in the Media Archive

Marcus Hotaling, director of the Eppler-Wolff Counseling Center and president of the Association of University and College Counseling Center Directors, was featured by CNN in a piece about student mental health.

Hotaling joined Union in 2007.

A study by Lewis Davis, the Thomas Armstrong Professor of Economics, Stephen Schmidt, the Kenneth B Sharpe Professor of Economics, and Sophia Zacher ’21, "Covid on campus: An empirical analysis of Covid infection rates at U.S. Colleges and Universities," was featured by Inside Higher Ed.

The group's paper was recently published in the Southern Economic Journal.

Using data for the 2020-21 academic year from over 1,000 institutions, they find that COVID infection rates were higher at schools that had larger endowments, higher tuition rates, lower admission rates, and a lower share of minority students. Infection rates were also higher at public universities in states with a Republican governor. The article started as Zacher’s senior thesis project.

Current students and older learners joined together on the stage of the Yulman Theater for this year’s Winter Dance Concert, “At the Intersection.”

For the first time, guest performers from the Union College Academy of Lifelong Learning (UCALL) are taking part alongside 31 student performers.

The performance was featured in the Daily Gazette (a subscription may be required to access content).
