A higher-education institution with a long legacy in the city of Lincoln will now go by a new name.
The Union College Board of Trustees voted Monday to change the 132 year old college’s name. It will now be known as Union Adventist University in May of 2024.
The decision was made after reviewing a year’s worth of research. “We believe this name will better communicate Union’s scope as we broaden our graduate offerings,” said Gary Thurber, board chair. “It also allows us to be distinct from the other colleges named Union while reaffirming our connection to a faith that puts service first and welcomes all who want to experience an outstanding Christian education.”
Thurber added that the new name will allow the school be distinct from other colleges named Union while reaffirming their mission towards a Christian education.
