@UI&U - August 2009

Feature Stories

UI&U's Criminal Justice program is very successful in our California, Florida, and Ohio academic centers and is notably one of only 11 universities selected by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) to become a member of the National FOP University.

We sat down with instructors, graduates, and learners to discuss what it is about UI&U that makes us a distinguished leader in the CJ field.

On October 17, Union Institute & University learners from across the country will take part in UI&U’s National Commencement in Cincinnati, Ohio. As the university welcomes its newest alumni many of their fellow graduates, some who graduated decades earlier, will also be in Cincinnati to take part in the university’s first National Union ReUnion  which will feature events designed to honor UI&U’s unique history and celebrate the university’s future.
