 Making More Memories - Forever Mount
Summer is here and as you are thinking about vacations and time with family, I hope that you will also include the Mount Union family in your plans by attending Alumni Weekend and Homecoming 2011 on Saturday, October 8. We are planning a great weekend full of activities. Be sure to check the website often for updates and a calendar of events.
I am happy to share that many of you have taken us up on our offer to "tour" campus, so please stop by if your travels bring you close. We would love to show you around and fill you in on the many updates and new programming at the University.
From all of us at Mount Union, have a safe, healthy and happy summer!

 Featured Alumni Profile
Each month we take a moment to share a brief story about one of our own to show you why we are so proud of our alumni across the globe.
Last month, we featured Martin Horning '71, professor of economics, accounting and business administration, who retired after 32 years of service. This month, we feature another faculty member who also is retiring. Len Epp, professor of biology, retired after 41 years of service to the University. He may not be a graduate of Mount Union, but he is truly a part of the Mount Union family.
Listen to Len's interview with Anne.
 Featured Event
A group of 45 alumni, parents and friends of Mount Union traveled to Italy in May and their travels allowed them to hear the Mount Union Concert Choir sing in historic locations, visit some of the most beautiful places on earth, eat amazing food and make friends that will last a lifetime. Check out photos from the trip and a YouTube video of an impromptu performance by the choir. Surprise Party Dean Taylor is turning 75 and everyone is invited!
