Event, In the Industry
Join the Rhode Island Minorities in Architecture and Design for our November meetup! It’s our fourth anniversary of meetups, and I am proud that Union has had a representative attend nearly every single one since. Hope to see you there.

Eline & Caitlin joined almost 900 others in costume for the MonsterDash 5k in downtown PVD. It was super fun and even spooky, as the course led us in the bus tunnel for some eerie music, fog, and frights set along the way! Definitely got us in the Halloweekend spirit this year!
