@ UI&U Newsletter - February 2009

Union Institute & University is proud to announce the launch of its newly designed Web site, www.myunion.edu. Under the banner “Change Your Thinking,” the innovative new Web site showcases the university’s wide array of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree offerings, and provides access to other university services, including financial aid, courses for visiting learners, and non-credit, lifelong learning courses.

Designed by a Cincinnati-based advertising agency, the Creative Department, www.myunion.edu  provides simple and intuitive navigation for prospective learners to quickly find the program that best fits their location, their schedule, and their learning style.

Union President Dr. Roger Sublett said the new Web site is timely, considering the competitive market and the university’s recent launch of three innovative doctoral programs, the expansion of UI&U's undergraduate majors, and the success of UI&U’s Master of Arts Online program, one of the university’s most popular degree programs. In addition, the university has renewed its focus on customer service and accelerated degree completion.

“In these difficult economic times, working adults are looking for ways to integrate their lives with their learning, as well as make themselves more attractive to their current or prospective employer,” said Dr. Sublett. “Whether they are seeking to further their professional development, returning to complete an unfinished degree, or fulfilling a lifetime goal, Union Institute & University provides affordable and accessible options for degree-seeking adults. Our new Web site will help drive our mission and vision.”

The site highlights selected current learners and alumni and describes how Union changed their thinking – about their education and their lives. According to UI&U’s Web manager, Mark Stevens, the site reflects the best Union has to offer – and in an intuitive and informative method. “Information about Union’s degree programs is only two clicks away,” Stevens said. “Detailed information about financial aid and the online ‘anytime’ application is available on every page.”
