More than 2,000 students, culled from 5,264 applications, received acceptance letters from the Office of Admissions last month. Now, they’re deciding whether Union is the place for them.
Many are making up their minds – or confirming their decisions – during two Acceptance Day Programs this month. The first, held Monday, brought some 400 guests to campus. With sun and blue skies overhead, faculty, staff and current students cheerfully rolled out the welcome mat to these prospective members of the Class of 2012.
“I knew I wanted a small liberal arts school on the East Coast, and I really like the sense of community at Union,” said Sarah Rosenblum of Los Angeles, a student at the Archer School for Girls who is looking forward to pursuing Art History and Psychology next fall. “This is my third visit to campus. This is where I want to be.”
“I’m definitely choosing Union,” said Adam Burns of Rochester. “I like the small size and the variety of academics and extracurricular activities.”
The second Accepted Students Day is set for Monday, April 14. Visitors begin the day in Memorial Chapel with a welcome from President Stephen C. Ainlay, Interim Vice President for Admission and Financial Aid Ann Fleming Brown and the Dutch Pipers, Union’s a capella singing group. Union expects a first-year class of 565 students.
