Homecoming 2017

Greetings Fellow Unionites

Think about the memories you made at Union University, about the friendships you formed, and about the professors who taught and inspired you. This year's Homecoming weekend will provide multiple opportunities for you to reunite with the people who made your Union years so special. Reunion tents by decade will allow you to catch up with friends and get to know their families.

There's no better time than now to make your trip back home to Union University.
