                              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.
