At Union Ve International Students INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS THRIVE AT UNION union.edu << NOTT MEMORIAL, THE CENTERPIECE OF CAMPUS SCHAFFER LIBRARY >> 2 UNION.EDU A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Founded in 1795, Union College was named to reflect the founders’ desire to create a welcoming academic community open to all religions and nationalities. Union was the first liberal arts college to offer an engineering degree. This academic integration continues today as engineering, sciences, economics, social sciences, humanities and the arts go hand-in-hand. Students merge their interests through creative and innovative research, which is woven into the curriculum. During the annual Steinmetz Symposium, more than 500 students present their research projects. Faculty and student research is funded with more than $12 million in grants for projects and instrumentation. Our students enjoy state-of-the-art facilities, including the Feigenbaum Center for the Visual Arts and the brand new $100 million expansion of our Science and Engineering Complex. In addition to conducting vibrant research, Union students think and act locally and globally through fellowships, community service and studying abroad.

The carriage house is a mixed-use structure and contains museum offices, conference space, a staff kitchen, a staff library, and storage space. Significance: Completed in 1874, the Mark Twain Carriage House is a multi-purpose barn with a coachman's apartment designed by architects Edward Tuckerman Potter and Alfred H, Thorp as a companion structure to the residence for noted American author and humorist Samuel Clemens and his family. Its massive size and its generous accommodations for the coachman mark this structure as an unusual carriage house among those intended for a single family's use. The building has the wide overhanging eaves and half-timbering typical of the Chalet style popular in the late 19th century for cottages, carriage houses, and gatehouses.

  • Building Stones of Schenectady, New York
    BUILDING STONES OF SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK JANET B. HOLLOCHER 2208 Barcelona Rd. Schenectady, NY 12309 KURT HOLLOCHER Geology Department Union College Schenectady, NY 12308 Introduction The building stones of downtown Schenectady contain some of the best examples of rock types and medium- and small-scale geologic features that the general public can readily view. Within easy walking or driving distance are high-quality rocks of many types, some of them carefully polished and beautifully displayed. There are buildings made with igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that include oxide­ rich gabbro, porphyritic granite, crossbedded sandstone, fossiliferous limestone, marble, gneiss, and partially melted migmatite. During this half-day trip, we will tour the downtown area to view the most interesting building stones, to see what minerals, fossils and other features they contain, to infer the geologic processes that formed them. The aim of this trip is to help people to learn more about geology, just by spending a few hours in downtown Schenectady (Figure 1). Anyone who is interested in geology can observe rock types and features on his own, without a guide, and without traveling miles on rural roads, bushwacking through woods and swamps, or stopping next to busy highways. Those who examine urban building stones can sharpen their powers of observation and learn to recognize a wide variety of rock types, minerals, features, and fossils. BRING HAND LENSES! Each block of building stone, or each panel of facing stone, is one small window into the past. However, there are some important things to remember when looking at building stones. First, remember that all of the rocks you are looking at came from somewhere else.

  • An Invitation to Apply for the Position of Vice President for Advancement
    An Invitation to Apply for the Position of Vice President for Advancement Schenectady, New York Union College, a nationally recognized, distinguished liberal arts college with a long history of engineering and computer science, seeks a motivated and strategic professional to develop and lead an ambitious development and alumni relations program though a transformative campaign and beyond. As part of its recent strategic planning efforts, the College has developed a new vision statement: “Developing every student to lead with wisdom, empathy, and courage, in ways large and small, now and across multiple tomorrows.” Union seeks a vice president who can inspire the team to tell the Union story to our alumni and friends to increase engagement and philanthropy. Founded in 1795, and located in Schenectady, New York, Union College is one of the oldest liberal arts colleges in the nation. As the first college to redefine the traditional liberal arts education with modern languages, science, and engineering early in its history, Union is committed to integrating the humanities and social sciences with science and engineering in new and exciting ways. It is an exciting moment at Union as Dr. David Harris joined the College as its 19th President in July 2018. President Harris has engaged the students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni, and Board of Trustees in an ambitious path for the next generation of the College. Based on the new vision and plan for the College, Union publicly launched Powering Union: The Campaign for Multiple Tomorrows, on February 21, 2020. To date, the campaign has raised $221 million towards a goal of $300 million, including a $51 million gift, the largest in Union’s history.
