Academics
At the forefront of the University of Mount Union is a vigorous academic program geared to prepare students with an education grounded in the liberal arts. Students develop the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, understand the various cultures and interdependence of the global community and form moral and religious values that encourage them to address complex societal problems that affect the individual and the world. Students are challenged to develop skills that will guide them in life both during and after college through the four pillars of the academic program – the major, the minor, the Integrative Core and electives. When combined, your experiences in these four areas will lead to your successful completion of our bachelor’s degree requirements for graduation. Our doctorate and master’s degree requirements lead graduate students to the same values at an even deeper level. Your academic experience at Mount Union will prepare you for success in the 21st century, and what sets us apart is the personal attention our faculty and staff offer. You’ll build meaningful relationships with professors who put you first and advisors who are invested in your future.

Arts and Culture
It was the founding vision of University of Mount Union founder Orville Nelson Hartshorn that not only would men train beside women at the institution, but that the sciences and the humanities would exist in “parallel,” each area receiving its own special emphasis and assuming its rightful place in the curriculum. From the very beginning, courses in music and art were offered to complement the “practical studies” that its students would take, ensuring that a Mount Union student would be a liberally educated student. More than 175 years later, Hartshorn’s ideals still guide us. Today, the mission of the University is to prepare students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work, and responsible citizenship. The arts have always played a prominent role in achieving this mission. Our arts and cultural programming instills in our students an appreciation of human creativity and expression, increasing their knowledge of human existence, agency, identity, and imagination as witnessed through language, ritual artifact, and performance. By exploring arts and culture, our students come to understand what it means to be human in finer terms. They encounter humanity in all of its diversity, and in exploring that diversity, our students become more thoughtful and capable world citizens. At Mount Union, we extend opportunities in arts and culture to members of the surrounding community as well. Lectures, performances, and exhibits are scheduled annually, as are a number of special events and performance opportunities.

Bob Wakeham ’68 Rolled Over His IRA for Good
Family has always been at the center of Bob Wakeham’s ’68 life. Bob applied to Mount Union because of a family connection through his uncle and cousin, both of whom attended. “I decided that Mount Union was a good fit because of the smaller school size,” he said. Little did he know the big impact that a small school would make on his future. During his time at Mount Union, Bob became a brother of Alpha Tau Omega and a member of the wrestling team. “I was not a very good student my first year, but Mount Union made me feel valued and saw something in me that I didn’t necessarily see in myself.” The close-knit community supported him like family, and although he jokes of having too much fun in college, he found his love for teaching and science early on. Upon graduation, Bob continued his education and obtained two master’s degrees, one in education and another in business administration. He taught in Cleveland, Ohio for four years and then taught with the Department of Defense in Germany during the Cold War for another four years. “Teaching provided me with opportunities to see parts of the world – good and bad – that I otherwise would have never seen.” Bob returned from Germany in 1977 and began a new career in educational textbook sales. Over the course of the next 35 years, Bob did a lot of traveling and relocating for business. To stay active, he took up running for exercise while on the road and began competing in marathons. Bob eventually ran a marathon in each of the 50 states and then set a goal to run a marathon on each continent. He completed marathons on the first five continents and then set his sights on Asia and Antarctica. His second to last race was the Great Wall marathon in China. Finally, he endured the freezing cold temperatures, snow, and ice in the Antarctica Marathon. He hung up his running shoes for good in 2016 after successfully completing 75 races. Today, Bob and his wife Karen live in Maineville, Ohio . They have three children and three beautiful grandchildren who live nearby. Bob chooses to support The Mount Union Fund each year with gifts from his IRA. “Mount Union was accepting, and the community believed in me like family, despite the many bumps I faced. It feels good to give back. If Mount hadn’t believed in me 50 years ago, then my life would have been completely different.” Bob’s financial advisor was the one who recommended he consider the IRA charitable rollover option to lower his taxable income. “Many don’t know that the opportunity is there, it’s simple, and something great to keep in mind,” Bob explained. “Given what I’ve experienced in life, charitable contributions mean more to me now than they did 30 years ago. I feel it is my duty to give back to Mount Union, and giving by IRA allowed me to realize that I can make a larger impact.”

“Given what I’ve experienced in life, charitable contributions mean more to me now than they did 30 years ago. I feel it is my duty to give back to Mount Union and giving by IRA allowed me to realize that I can contribute more .” Make a difference in the lives and educational experiences of Mount Union students today with a gift to The Mount Union Fund from your IRA. If you are 70½ and older you can roll over up to $100,000 from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as The Mount Union Fund, without being taxed.
