Greetings Fellow unionitesYou will not want to miss Homecoming 2013. Special events

are planned for all of those who call Union University home,

whether you attended class at the downtown campus or you

graduated from the current campus north of I-40. Bring your

family to campus for the weekend and enjoy everything from

ice skating to basketball games while you see how your favorite

student organizations have grown and visit with past classmates.

We look forward to seeing you back home at Union University!
