GETTING TO KNOW UNION EVENT

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Last updated August 16, 2023

Union College will be hosting an overnight college preview event for high-achieving students from diverse backgrounds. This event is designed to allow students to learn more about our academic offerings; give them an authentic view of what life can be like at Union; and provide opportunities to engage with current students, faculty and college leaders.

Because we understand that traveling may pose a significant financial burden for many families, the College will provide transportation and campus meals for all students in attendance.

Our 2023 GTKU event will be a 2-day program offered in conjunction with our Fall Open House. Students will arrive to campus during the day on Sunday, October 8, and stay overnight with a student host to attend our Fall Open House on Monday, October 9.
