The College has launched a new Web site that features
some of the best stories about Union that have appeared in
major newspapers.
The Union home page now sports a catchy button that
leads users to the “Newsmakers @ Union” site. (The site can
be accessed directly by going to
www.union.edu/News/Newsmakers.)
Stories include “Colleges Embracing Towns Once Held
at Arm's Length” (Washington Post), “A River Town Makes
Amends” (New York Times), “How a Prominent Irish Writer Paid
a Posthumous Price for His Sharp Tongue” (Chronicle of
Higher Education) and “Students get `real-world' training in
engineering and architecture (Times Union).
The site will not be limited to national publications,
however. To satisfy prospective students' curiosity about the academic
life at Union, selected stories from Union's on-campus
publications (Union College magazine and
The Chronicle) will be added to a new section for “Student and
Faculty Profiles.”
“It's a shame to keep these great stories about Union
stuffed away in the attic,” said Tom Smith, Web site director.
“Now that they are on the Web, everyone will be able to
learn more about Union.”
