Upcoming events this October

Life at Union has been very fast-paced lately, with loads of fun activities lurking around every corner. The last two years have made it difficult to socialize, but with recent declines in Covid-19 infections, it is becoming safer and safer to lay down the textbooks and have some fun. There are many events coming up that you should know about, so I have compiled some of them here.


Preview Days – October 6 - 9

We all have different stories of how we arrived at Union, but for many of us our first interaction was with Preview Days, a fun weekend event for high school students and others to come experience Union for themselves. The campus will be hosting the largest preview event we have had in a long time. Even though enrollment staff will be busy giving them a warm welcome, don’t feel embarrassed to wave and say hi to all the new students in town.


Mental Health Awareness Week

This week, our campus is focusing on an all-important and yet often overlooked topic—mental health. From therapy dogs to exercise sessions and even a guest speaker, there is something for everyone!

The week will be wrapped up with an exciting Power Pac weekend featuring motivational speaker, DeMoine Adams, a former Nebraska football player who also played for the Green Bay Packers, 49ers, and Tennessee Titans.


Warrior Volleyball Games – October 7, 11

The Warriors are doing pretty well this year, and they get to prove that again this week as they face off against two other teams on the same day. Both are home games in the Thunderdome, so be sure to wear some swag and cheer for your team.

The volleyball team will also travel to Overland Park, KS to play Kansas Christian College.


Warrior Soccer Game – October 8

The Warrior soccer team will play Calvary University in Kansas City, Missouri. Pray for the team as they travel and play.


Campus Potluck – October 12

Enjoy sharing food together with the Student Life office!


Fall Break

It is not too long before we get some time off from classes to enjoy fall break. Enjoy resting and recuperating from the stress of class and catching up on assignments.
