Not only has the past decade seen a remarkable series of achievements in education and service at Union University, it has also seen a historic expansion in the resources available to achieve excellence.

Prior to 1996, Union University had never attempted a financial campaign in excess of $10 million, but in 1998 the University launched a $35 million effort that was achieved two years early. Using that foundational effort, Union launched the Building a Future campaign in 2000, seeking $60 million by 2005 – and the result was that goal was exceed by $3 million and achieved a year ahead of schedule.

What do those dollars represent? Here is a partial list of ways these investments in excellence have revolutionized the University landscape:

Jennings Hall Hammons Hall Two new student apartment complexes A new soccer field Fesmire baseball and softball fields with press box Miller tower Development of the great lawn

The loop road The new west entrance The updated north entrance The new welcome house Major renovations in every part of the campus A new branch campus in Germantown, Tennessee

The combination of a visionary goal and the strategic investment of resources has resulted in an institution that is emerging as one of the top Christian universities in the nation.
