Union College,(www.union.edu) founded in 1795 as the first college chartered by the New York State Board of Regents, offers programs in the liberal arts and engineering to 2,000 undergraduates of high academic promise and strong personal motivation. Union has a long history of blending liberal arts, the sciences and engineering, and the college’s Converging Technologies initiative is further bridging these disciplines and graduating students who are comfortable and prepared to live and work in today’s diverse world. Union ’s latest College-wide innovation is the Minerva Houses, which bring together students and faculty for intellectual and social exchange through affiliation with seven campus “living rooms.”
