University Showcase offers closer look at Union University Hendersonville

Union University Hendersonville launched a new event this spring— University Showcase, designed to introduce local residents to Union’s Hendersonville campus and provide them more information about programs offered there.

The showcase, held on April 7, will be repeated in the fall.

“The event was most successful,” said Charles Lea, executive director of Union University Hendersonville. “We had 24 prospective students who registered and attended as well as individuals just touring and picking up information. We acquired and gave away eight door prizes and created a great deal of buzz in the community.”

Representatives were on hand to talk about graduate and undergraduate degrees for working adults. In addition, personnel from Union’s main campus were there to speak to prospective students about the college admissions process and financial aid. Visitors were also given tours of the Hendersonville facility and treated to refreshments.

Located on Indian Lake Boulevard, Union University Hendersonville offers adults in the Nashville area an opportunity to pursue graduate and undergraduate degrees in education, nursing and Christian studies. The campus also provides degree completion options for adults.

This fall, the campus is beginning a new program called the University Experience at Union. The program offers high school seniors a chance to spend half of their day taking university-level classes on the Hendersonville campus, for which they will earn both college and high school credit. The program allows students to remain a part of their high school while getting a taste of the educational experience Union offers.
