Campaign Co-Chairman Frank L. Messa '73

"Union is poised at an exciting threshold of opportunity. We have a comprehensive strategic plan in place to guide our future and an energetic president to lead its implementation. Now, with the expansion and extension of the You are Union campaign, all the pieces are in place to help us realize our distinctive educational mission. Please join me in helping to achieve the campaign goals. We all have a role to play in ensuring that the next generation will benefit from the kind of extraordinary Union experience that has been so important for our own lives."



Campaign Co-Chairman Mark L. Walsh '76

"We have already made significant progress in this campaign, and I have no doubt that we will continue to do so. Union has always been blessed with loyal alumni and friends, and your generosity thus far has helped create a tremendous sense of momentum. Our challenge now is to sustain and build on that momentum. It is a challenge I know we will meet, in the same way the Union community has risen to every challenge we've faced in the last two centuries. Now is the time for us to carry out all our carefully laid plans and claim our rightful place among the nation's top-ranked colleges."

Forging a Stronger Union.

The country’s leading foundations are taking notice of the quality, range and depth of our offerings, extending their growing support and accolades.

So, too, are our nation’s young people. The most talented students are eagerly seeking admission to Union as the preferred place to be for undergraduate work.

But as strong as we are, we can be stronger. Union is poised at a critical juncture. We must seize the moment and the momentum and boost our reputation for excellence through decisive action.

We must guarantee that our faculty and students can reach their fullest potential and that the larger community will continue to benefit from the contributions of broadly educated, intelligent, creative Union graduates. We turn to you, the stewards of Union, to help usher in a new era.

You are… part of the Union culture, and it is part of you.

You are… the future of the College, just as it is indelibly part of your past.

You are… critical to its success; no one else can take your place or play the role that you alone can.

You can help carry on the rich tradition of pioneering excellence that is at the heart of the Union experience.
