BEING MOVED TO GIVE BACK
“
I have always been impressed with the obvious enthusiasm with which alumni representatives discuss ongoing changes taking place at Union. Their annual visits have kept me informed of Union’s broad range of public events and activities, and advances being made in Union’s Chemistry Department, where I earned my B.S. degree. These interactions rekindled a strong feeling of affinity with Union that I had not felt since my graduation. With Gift Planning Office guidance, I decided to add to my support of Union by means of a Charitable Gift Annuity and a Chemistry Scholarship Endowment. I am pleased to have the opportunity to give back to Union what Union gave me so long ago. – Ken Greenough ’54
