CAMPAIGN PRIO RITIES: Ensuring Access Propelling the Liberal Arts and Engineering Developing Students Beyond the Classroom The Union Fund
T
wo years after the public launch of Powering Union: The Campaign for Multiple Tomorrows in February 2020, friends, alumni and parents are steadfastly supporting the College. Check out the stories of some of our generous donors on the pages that follow. With their help, the campaign recently met its target for Ensuring Access. More than $83 million has been raised to make sure no student misses out on any Union opportunity.
In 2021, the Schuler Access Initiative (see pg. 4 for details) brought renewed energy to Ensuring Access with its focus on supporting the enrollment of more underserved students. We are deeply grateful to our alumni and friends for their generous support of this effort, which will ultimately unlock $22 million in matching funds from the Schuler Education Foundation. THIS IS A HUGE TRIUMPH!

UNION COLLEGE | WINTER 2022
Creating new scholarships remains critical to Union’s financial health and competitive edge in recruiting highly qualified students, as are gifts to The Union Fund, another cornerstone of the campaign. As we forge ahead, we invite all alumni, parents and friends to make a gift to The Union Fund. Or participate in Union’s other fundraising priorities: Developing Students Beyond the Classroom, Propelling the Liberal Arts and Engineering, and Ensuring Access. Together we can meet our goal of raising $300 million and achieve the most ambitious fundraising feat in the College’s history. We are grateful to all donors and volunteers who have brought us this far. Gifts are the lifeblood of the work we do.
