Every department holds weekly speaker series, dinner and discussion events happen frequently, and every student can easily obtain some form of leadership position if so desired. With a lot of campus events being student-run, Union students are able to acquire excellent advertising, planning, and event facilitating skills during their four years here. Students organizations and clubs, such as TEDxUnionCollege and</span></span></span><span style="color:#696969;"><span style="font-size:mediumsmall;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="colorfont-size:#696969larger;">and</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:smalllarger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#696969;"><span>UCEO</span></span></span></span></spanstyle="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#696969;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="color:#696969;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> ( Union's club for entrepreneurship) provide students with the opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial projects and enable them to connect with other entrepreneurs at Union and outside of Union's community. Despite a vibrant social atmosphere, Union sometimes feels overwhelmingly educational even outside of the classroom. This has been altered in recent years, however, with the introduction of the Minerva program which aims to bridge the gap between the social and academic sides of campus. </span></span></span>
<span style="colorfont-size:#696969larger;"><span style="font-sizecolor:small#696969;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Post graduation, 35% of students pursue a path of continuing their education. It is highly common, as well, for Union engineers to continue their education in business rather than engineering, because their interdisciplinary skills learned here has allowed them to become leaders within their fields.</span></span></span>

With only undergraduate students on campus, the professors are committed to providing research opportunities to all. What makes Union unique is that these research opportunities across all disciplines and frequently students take on faculty research projects their first or second year, committing to a practicum or summer research.</span></span></span></span>
