Alums. United.

Our life stories are different, but as alums, we are many voices—United.

As graduates grounded in theology and equipped with relevant skills, your leadership is a reflection of your time at United. Wherever you are, the work you do embodies a public witness for justice and peace. As an alum, you know current students will join you and become the next generation of leaders, bringing healing and hope to a hurting world.

As a United alum, we value you and want to share your stories with other alums, current students, and the wider community. Yours is an integral voice of the many voices United. We want you to stay in touch and engaged with all things United.
