Take It from Our Bulldogs

Don't just take our word for it. Hear from the people who know Union best — the students living it and the grads who've been shaped by it.

A person with short brown hair, wearing a maroon polo shirt and blue jeans, stands in a science classroom with wooden cabinets, black countertops, and laboratory equipment in the background.

“Hearing the four values of what Union pushes — Christ-centered, excellence-driven, people-focused, and future-directed — I just love those goals of what the university is instilling in their students. It’s something we will take with us when we graduate and leave.”

Aryn Roberts, with curly hair, wearing a white sleeveless top and dark jeans, stands smiling outside in front of a brick building with large windows and columns. Benches and trees are visible in the background.

“It just feels like a big family at Union. As far as having a community of people who have values that align with mine — it’s something I wasn’t really familiar with. The professors care about my development not just in the classroom, but as a person. It’s my second year and I’ve already made some lifelong friends”

Isla Williams, a woman with dark hair in two buns, is wearing a pink jacket and smiling widely. The background is out of focus with horizontal lines.

“I'm only halfway through my degree and I've already presented research at a regional conference, studied abroad in Costa Rica, and landed a summer internship with the state parks department. The opportunities here aren't reserved for seniors — if you show up and ask questions, doors open.”

“At my old school, soccer was my god. I was chasing soccer. And then you come here and everything — from the schooling to my personal life — is to know the Lord more. Jesus has gone from something that I did to something that I wanted to do. Now He’s everything.”

Makayla Madison, in a black sleeveless top, stands outdoors on a paved walkway, smiling at the camera. Behind her are green trees, benches, and a brick structure with an archway.

“Union inspires us to personally develop and to be serious about getting to know the Lord more and seeing what the path is that He has for us. That’s at a level of intentionality that I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else.”

Norah Taylor, with long hair, wears a red striped shirt and jeans as she stands by a wooden podcast table equipped with microphones, headphones, and cables. A screen behind her displays a stylized A logo.

“I adore just the personal relationship that you can have with professors here. They are all so great at just getting to know you, getting to know your passions and why you’re here. It’s very clear that they respect me not only as a student but also just an individual who has a passion for creative ideas.”
