The Union Notables Exhibit
Union College has a rich and wonderful past, and has helped shape some of the greatest minds of the 19th and 20th centuries. As we move into the future, we continue to look back at those who have been here before us, and at their extraordinary achievements.
An ongoing, rotating exhibit featuring extraordinary people from Union College, Union Notables is a celebration of the great men and women who have studied and worked at Union from its founding in 1795 to the present day.
Located in the Schaffer Library Atrium, the Union Notables exhibition will feature a new group of three “notables” every six months.
