Psst. Next Wednesday night we're throwing the nerdiest party ever. A research party! Librarians will be available to answer any questions you have about research, citations, your final papers, etc. Wed, Oct 25, 5-8PM. I heard a rumor there will be a hot chocolate bar...
Stephen Rosenblatt '87, Managing Director at Barclays Bank, visited on Tuesday, 10/10 to speak to the Student Investment Fund about how to get the most out of the Bloomberg Terminal. If the Bloomberg Terminal interests you see this link for more info:

This academic year, Mandeville Gallery & Schaffer Library will display art requested by Union College professors for use in teaching. Many are recent additions to the College’s Permanent Collection, a term used to describe the art amassed over Union's 200-year-plus history.

A look behind the scenes: This summer we transferred alumni files for the years 1930-1959 from College Relations to Special Collections & Archives. The files contain a wealth of information on Union College alumni and are some of our most requested items. archives.union.edu/repositor….
One of Union’s most consequential, yet least recognized, alumni comes alive through correspondences, images, scrapbooks, journals and other materials in a new exhibit at Schaffer Library.
