UNION UNIVERSITY INDUCTS FIRST MEMBERS INTO 1823 SOCIETY

Union University inducted the UU Class of 1973 into the 1823 Society — a new Union University initiative for all alumni who have celebrated a 50-year reunion. Union’s president, Samuel W. “Dub” Oliver, inducted the first class into the society during a special April 15 ceremony.

The goal of the 1823 Society is to give UU alumni the opportunity to connect with their Union community beyond their 50-year graduation reunion. All Union University alumni who graduated prior to 1973 are grandfathered into the 1823 Society and able to participate in special alumni events, initiatives and celebrations.

Each year the class celebrating its 50-year reunion will be inducted into the society.

Keaghlan Sheridan, Union’s director of alumni relations, said she hopes the 1823 Society will give seasoned UU alumni chances to connect to the university, to pour into current students and faculty and to celebrate fellow Union University alumni.

“The 1823 Society gives us the chance to remember these alumni and to celebrate the work they have accomplished since graduating from Union,” Sheridan said. “We’re aware there is so much wisdom that these alumni carry, and it would be such a loss to the university if we missed out on that gift to connect with our Union University alumni.”
