Ensuring Union's Future
The historic $250 million You are Union campaign surpassed its goal as it came to a close on December 31, 2012. Having raised $258,364,525, the campaign represents the largest fundraising effort in Union College's 217-year history. Moreover, we stand proudly in the top half of capital campaigns completed by the nation's top 50 liberal arts colleges. Under the leadership of President Stephen C. Ainlay and dedicated Campaign Chairs, fundraising efforts focused on areas critical to advancing the College's vision and continuing its tradition of excellence and innovation:
- Expanding the Annual Fund, particularly in the area of unrestricted support
- Creating new faculty positions, many in interdisciplinary fields of inquiry
- increasing the availability of scholarship support for students
- Investing in strategic projects that will enhance academic and student life facilities
