“I entered the Navy to teach at the Naval Nuclear Engineering School. The background in physics and chemistry I received at Union was fundamental in my success. Although I was humbled by the other instructors-in-training, all selected from the top 5% of colleges in the U.S., I found I was able to comprehend and communicate even the most difficult material as well as or better than most.”
— Michelle Goforth ’91, Navy Nuclear Engineering School
“Union University offers a unique blend of the highest-quality classroom education and a caring, nurturing campus life. I have found the training I received at Union to be of the highest caliber. It was that training, along with contacts made through Union’s Physics department, that helped me earn a Department of Energy fellowship enabling me to attend graduate school. I now work at a DOE national laboratory thanks in no small part to the training and guidance I received at Union. However, perhaps the greatest benefit of attending Union is that it offers the distinct advantage of learning in a Christian environment with faculty who are genuinely concerned for both the educational and spiritual development of each student.”
— Kevin Reaves ’88, Health physicist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
“Union University’s physics department did an excellent job of preparing me to work with the fusion energy physicists at the Fusion Research Center at Oak Ridge National Lab. Even though the physics problems we solved were often difficult, I have many good memories of the small classes and teachers. The faculty are outstanding scientists, teachers, and Christian role models.”
— Vicki Lynch ’77, Fusion Research Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
“Since I left Union, I have been challenged with many science and health science related problems. Union provided me with the foundation needed to address all of these, as well as the many other situations I have regularly encountered.”
— Kyle Brown ’97, Radiation Monitoring, State of Tennessee
