Union University invites your family to join us October 3-4 for Family Weekend 2008!
Enjoy a great weekend with your family as you experience campus life at Union.
Join us Friday for a casual dinner in the new Carl Grant Events Center and afterward for
relaxing evening of board games in McAfee commons or live music in the new coffeehouse,
Barefoot's Joe. Siblings can get an inside look at college life after a night of bowling with the
Sibling Sleepover. Saturday begins with the President's Brunch, which is followed by a day full of
intramural games, Union soccer games, and All Sing. We hope to see you then!
