A Flurry of Winter Activity at Union

While winter may be a time for some to go into hibernation mode,
here at Union we are busier than ever. The students are eager,
walking a little faster in the brisk morning air. As we pass by
classrooms, we can see our faculty delivering much-needed
knowledge and wisdom. Our staff is making sure Union is
running like a well-oiled machine.

Here in the alumni office, we are gearing up for Union’s annual
Phonathon. Alumni who have not given yet this fiscal year
(beginning July 1, 2009) should be ready to receive student calls
between Feb. 15 and Feb. 25. For the first time in history, the
World Equestrian Games are being held outside of Europe,
and they’re coming to our home state of Kentucky! For this
reason, our theme is Phonathon 2010: Focusing on the
Finish Line.

time for remembering to write a check to keep the lights on
so we can see how busy we are. Then, when it comes to
thinking about those extras, like making your annual gift to
Union College, procrastination takes a permanent seat
in our checkbooks.

Life was never meant to be easy. No one knew that better
