Each spring, Union invites high school juniors to campus for its popular Junior Jump Start Open House, which helps prepares students for their upcoming college search and application process. This year, Junior Jump Start takes place on Monday, May 28. In addition, the Admissions Office is extending an invitation to alumni and their high school junior relatives to enjoy a legacy reception and dinner on Sunday, May 27.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for prospective college students with family ties to Union,” said Palmer Fargnoli '93, Union's Director of Alumni Admissions. “At the event, they will be able to connect with current Union legacy students and with members of Union's faculty and admissions staff.”
John Murphy, M.D. '73 attended Junior Jump Start in 2005 with his daughter, Kate, who is now a first-year student at Union. “Junior Jump Start was a great way for Kate to see Union through her own eyes, and not simply through my experiences,” Dr. Murphy said.” The day not only gave her a good sense of what Union has to offer, but it provided an excellent overview of the entire college search and admissions process – it was a low key, enjoyable and very informative event.”
The legacy reception runs from 4-6 p.m. on Sunday May 27, with dinner immediately following; and Junior Jump Start will take place the following day on Monday, May 28 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. For details and to register for these programs, please go to www.union.edu/legacy.
