Making More Memories - Forever Mount  

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our alumni around the globe for their support of all of the initiatives that we support through the Office of Alumni Relations and University Activities.

Whether you volunteer in the name of Mount Union, encourage prospective students to attend Mount Union, give monetary resources to The Mount Union Fund or give in any way ... know that you are making a difference!

As we embark on another academic year, your continued support remains critical to our success and to the future successes of our students. We know that none of this can happen without your support. We have so much to be proud of as Mount Union graduates. I extend our most sincere gratitude.

Featured Mount Union 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 Mount Union family. 

This month, we feature Dan MacDuffie, director of recreational and wellness and head men's and women's golf coach. Under Dan's leadership, The MAAC has quickly become the place to be on campus as the facility receives more than 4,000 swipes each week (Members of the Mount Union community have to swipe their Purple Plu$ Card to enter the facility).

Watch an impromptu tour of this state-of-the-art facility.
