“Having identified a vision for the future of Union University, David Dockery articulated that vision in a way that has inspired each of us to pursue it with Christcentered excellence. Every step of the way he has modeled this very excellence for us in word and in deed.”
“If Union had needed an educator, God would have provided a scholar. If we required a business mind, He would have supplied a CEO. If our need had been a visionary, God would have provided a motivator and leader of men. But Union University had a need for all these roles and more – so God sent us David S. Dockery!”

“His greatest achievement is building a culture at Union University that combines a Christ-centered ethos with high academic expectations. Cultural change is not easy and is not quick, but Dr. Dockery has made it appear that way. Many institutions have one (Christ-centered) or the other (academic excellence). Few have both. David Dockery has always believed the combination can be possible in a liberal arts institution, and that has made all the difference.”
