"The Rising Senior Program was one of the best experiences of my high school career as it not only created in me an anticipation for college, but also encouraged me to develop deep relationships that will last a lifetime. To this day some of my closest friendships are those that were made during my time as a Rising Senior. Furthermore, I fell in love with Union through its campus, dorms, classes, and most of all its people. You will not regret choosing to spend your Summer as a UU Bulldog!"
"The Rising Senior Program was one of the most unforgettable and influential experiences from my time in high school. My summer on campus grew me in many ways, allowed me to become more independent in life and in my education, and taught me how to be a better Christ-follower. My professors challenged me to think critically and pushed me to become a more focused and diligent student. I also gained friendships and memories that I pray will last a lifetime. I would encourage anyone and everyone to spend their summer on campus and experience what life at Union could really look like for them in the future."

"Going into Rising Seniors, I was already heavily considering attending Union, but my experience there made me certain that Union was the school for me. The classes were challenging but not overwhelming, and the professors were kind and intelligent. I'm still friends with several of the other students that I met there, and, in fact, three of them became my roommates. Attending Rising Seniors helped prepare me for what college would be like."
