Making More Memories - Forever Mount
As we all mourn the loss of one of our dear friends Dan Gorman, we are reminded of the ties, friendships and feelings that bind us to the Mount Union family. The special people that have touched us, the unique memories that we have made and the lasting relationships are what makes us all Purple Raiders. Take a minute to get in touch with someone who meant something to you from Mount Union. Don't know how to get a hold of him or her? Give us a call or drop us an email at alumni@mountunion.edu. We are happy to help you out! Through tragedy and triumph, we are FOREVER MOUNT.
