A Letter from President Dockery
Dear Parents,
On Saturday night (November 9, 2002), the Union
campus received damage from the storm that came
through Jackson. We were blessed that no one was
hurt for which we are quite grateful. We did,
however, experience damage to the dorms, the
parking lots, and Hammons Hall.
Temporary arrangements have been made until
full power can be restored to the campus.
Classes will be cancelled Monday (Nov. 11). We
will have a campus workday to begin to clean up
the damage.
Please be assured that all efforts are being
made to assure the safety of your students. Please
pray for us at this time.
Additional information will be regularly
communicated through Union's website.
Thank you for your support for us during this
time.
David S.
Dockery President |
