Reunion 2009 picnic

More than 2,000 visitors are expected on campus for the annual celebration of Union’s graduates next weekend. Together, they’ll enjoy traditional favorites like the Alumni Parade, fireworks show and Gala Dinner.

There’ll also be presentations from notable alumni in a variety of fields and a celebration to honor the College’s service men and women. And on Saturday, from noon to 1 p.m., Blue House, one of the College’s seven Minervas, officially becomes Messa House. The dedication honors the unrestricted gift by Frank L. Messa ’73, a longtime benefactor to the College, and his wife, Colleen, who recently donated $2 million to Union.
