Meet the Student Services Staff
The division of Student Life supports the work of the faculty and extends and enhances critical thinking beyond the classroom.
We provide student resources (to undergraduate and graduate students) and assist students in uniquely pursuing their life calling.
We foster an intentional campus community focused on the integration of faith and living through student leadership and engagement,
involvement, and campus traditions that reflect Union's mission and core values.
