"People just want
you to feel like you
belong here. They
want you to know
that God placed you here for a
reason. These are people you can
trust. These are people you can
always go to regardless of the
position they hold in the school.
It warms your heart just to know
you have people here who care
so much about students."
Union’s third core value is
“people-focused.” Union
combines the advantages of
being a nationally recognized university
with the personal attention of a close-knit
learning community. Professors will know
your name and care about your future.
- Union is large enough to offer more
than 100 programs of study on the
undergraduate and graduate levels, yet
small enough that 100 percent of our
classes are taught by professors rather
than graduate students.
- Union is large enough to be
recognized in national rankings and publications, yet small enough that
every new incoming student is prayed for
by name before they arrive on campus.
- Union is large enough to attract
renowned scholars to its faculty, yet
small enough that students often are
invited to dinner in the homes of these
scholars. In fact, faculty members also
give out their home telephone numbers
and reserve office time for anyone
needing extra help.
- Union is large enough to get national
attention in athletics (including five
national titles in women’s basketball
during the last 12 years), yet small
enough to provide individual guidance
on personal fitness and intramural
activities that benefit all students.
- Union is large enough to support a
new intercollegiate debate program, yet
small enough that professors and
students frequently and informally
discuss the most controversial issues of
the day over coffee or at the lunch table.
At Union, students are priority one. As
Union continues to grow, we will never
lose our focus on individual students.
