Union College Chartered

What occurred

It was around these few days in late February, when our beloved Union College officially became chartered from the Board of Regents of the State of New York. It would be one of the first schools without a Religious Denomination, have a highly liberal educational program with bachelors degrees available in history, math, science, and modern languages, as well as becoming the founding home of three fraternities. Overtime Union would have many famous alumni, ranging from Politicians to Actors, a NCAA Division 1 Championship winning Hockey team, as well as becoming one of the top, "Green" schools of the country. From 1795 till today, it has allowed students from across the world, with all kinds of backgrounds, the ability to learn and experience what they need too in order to prepare for their future lives!
