Major Recognitions
U.S.News & World Report
Union is ranked as one of only 56 schools nationally “where the faculty
has an unusual commitment to undergraduate teaching.” Union was
listed among 46 “schools to watch” across the nation. Overall, the
magazine ranks Union 15th among regional universities in the South,
which means Union has been classified as a Top Tier institution each year
since 1997 and has ranked among the top 20 regional universities in the
South for five consecutive years. Editors also identify Union as an “A+
option for serious B students.”
Princeton Review
Princeton Review ranks Union among the top schools in the Southeast.
Nationally, 623 schools received this regional ranking, which is only
accorded to about 25% of the nation’s colleges and universities.
Chronicle of Higher Education: Great Colleges to Work For
After a survey of 44,000 employees at 310 colleges and universities,
the magazine chose 30 four-year institutions for its honor roll of Great
Colleges to Work For. Union not only made that short list, but was
also among only three schools to be recognized in 11 separate rating
categories.
America’s 100 Best College Buys
An objective and independent research company surveys more than
a thousand U.S. colleges and universities each year, then analyzes the
information to find out which schools offer the best education for the
dollar based upon academic performance indicators and comparative
costs.
President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll
Initiated in 2006, this award recognizes colleges and universities
nationwide that support innovative and effective community service and
service-learning programs. Union is among a select group of institutions
that has made the list in each of the years it has been compiled.
College Access and Opportunity Guide
Union is listed among 284 U.S. colleges “committed to serving and
supporting today’s first-generation, low-income and traditionally
underserved college-bound students.” Union is one of only four
Tennessee institutions so honored.

university information
Colleges of Distinction
Union and the other schools chosen for inclusion in this guide exhibit four
distinctives of superior colleges and universities: engaged students, great
teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes.
Templeton Foundation
Union is listed in the Foundation’s guide entitled Colleges that Encourage
Character Development. Schools included in this listing have “exemplary
programs, presidents, and colleges and universities that inspire students
to lead ethical and civic-minded lives.”
History
Union University traces its roots to three antebellum Tennessee schools-West
Tennessee College and its predecessor, Jackson Male Academy, both located at
Jackson, and of Union University, located at Murfreesboro. Union is currently the
oldest school affiliated with Southern Baptist life.
West Tennessee College originated in the mid-1840s when supporters of the
Academy secured a charter for a college and received an endowment from the state
to come from the sale of public lands. West Tennessee College continued until 1874,
when at a time of depressed economic conditions, the trustees offered the College’s
buildings, grounds, and endowment to Tennessee Baptists in the hopes of attracting
a southwestern regional university planned by the state’s Baptist leaders.
Southwestern Baptist University, the immediate predecessor of the present
Union University, originated because of a desire by Tennessee Baptists for greater
unification.
In 1907, Dr. T. T. Eaton, a trustee at Southwestern from its beginning, bequeathed his
6,000 volume library to the college. He was a former professor at Union University
at Murfreesboro, where his father, Dr. Joseph H. Eaton, had been president. Shortly
thereafter the name of Southwestern Baptist University was changed to Union
University to honor the Eatons and others from Union at Murfreesboro.
Because of an aging and landlocked campus, Union University moved in 1975 from
near downtown Jackson to a new campus north of the city along Highway 45 Bypass.
During the administrations of President Robert Craig (1967-85) and President Hyran
Barefoot (1987-1996), enrollment increased from less than 1,000 students to more
than 2,000; the multi-purpose Penick Academic Complex was enlarged several times;
many additional housing units were erected; and the Blasingame Academic Complex
(1986) and the Hyran E. Barefoot Student Union Building (1994) were completed.
When David S. Dockery was elected as the fifteenth president of Union University
in December 1995, he introduced a compelling vision to build on a great tradition
while taking Union to the next level of regional and national prominence in Christian
higher education.
The progress that has been made during this time has been remarkable: fall
enrollment increased from 1,972 (in 1996) to 4,205 (in 2011). During that time,
Union also received 17 of the largest gifts in its history.
Union started an extension program in the Memphis suburb of Germantown in 1997.
Enrollment on the Germantown campus is now nearly 900 students. Classes began
at an extension campus in the Nashville suburb of Hendersonville in 2008, with a
campus building schedule for completion in 2012.
In the past decade, more than $120 million in improvements to the Jackson campus
have been completed, including 19 residence halls, the Miller Tower, Jennings Hall,
Hammons Hall, Fesmire indoor and outdoor athletic facilities, Smith Soccer Complex,
White Hall, Providence Hall and the Carl Grant Events Center.
In addition, plans are underway for a new library building at a cost of at least $18
million.
Undergraduate majors have been added in political science, physics, theology,
digital media studies, church history, ethics, sports management, sports medicine,
engineering. There are new graduate programs in education (M.U.Ed., M.Ed.,
Ed.S., and Ed.D.), nursing (MSN with tracks in education, administration, nurse
practitioner, and nurse anesthesia), intercultural studies (MAIS), social work (MSW),
and pharmacy (Pharm.D.). Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) and Doctor of Nursing Practice
(D.N.P.) programs.
Union has achieved national recognitions, including a Top Tier ranking from U.S.News
& World Report each year since 1997. At the start of 2011-12, that publication
named Union one of 46 national “Universities to Watch” and one of only 56 schools
“where the faculty has an unusual commitment to undergraduate teaching.”
Accreditation
Union University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, master’s,
education specialist, and doctoral degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges
at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia, 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for
questions about the accreditation of Union University.
Normal inquiries about the institution, such as admission requirements, financial aid,
educational programs, etc., should be addressed directly to the institution and not to
the Commission’s office.
UNION UNIVERSITY
letter from the president
“Dear Friends of Union University Athletics
Thank you so much for your support of Union University
athletics. A commitment to excellence is one of our four
core values across the University best demonstrated in our
numerous quality academic programs at the graduate and
undergraduate levels. For 16 straight years, Union has been
listed as a Top Tier University in the South by U. S. News and
World Report. One of the fastest growing private institutions in the entire South, Union University continues to make
strides in all aspects of our work, and athletics is no exception.
Following numerous successful years in the TranSouth Conference and in the NAIA, the Union Athletic Department this
year will begin anew in the Gulf South Conference. The Gulf
South is one of the strongest conferences in Division II of the
NCAA. Your encouragement for our coaches and athletic department leaders during this time of transition will be greatly
appreciated. We thanks your for your support for the distinctive mission of Union University.”
Cordially,

UNION UNIVERSITY
Director of athletics
Tommy Sadler began working at Union in 1985, but started his
time as the Director of Athletics in 2009. Sadler was named to
this position after serving the 2008-09 year as the acting athletics
director. He follows in the footsteps of Dr. David Blackstock, who
had been Union’s Athletic Director for the past 34 years.
Sadler, a native of Jackson, is a 1972 graduate of South Side High
School and a 1976 graduate of Union University. During his time
at Union, Sadler played four years of baseball for the Bulldogs. In
1981, he received his Master of Education from the University of
Memphis.
His tenure at Union began in 1985 as director of public relations.
After a year in that role, he became the university’s director of
corporate and foundation support, a position he held for 10 years.
In 1996, Sadler then moved into his previous role as associate
director of athletics.
Sadler earned the Union University Staff Member of the Year in
1994.
Sadler has also been very active in athletics at the conference level.
He is beginning his eighth year as the president of the TranSouth
Conference, of which Union is a member. Prior to this time as
president, he served the conference as its vice president.
Tommy Sadler
Director of Athletics
“Tommy Sadler has faithfully served Union University in a variety
of ways through the years, but his key contribution has been in his
work with the athletic department,” Dockery said. “He is respected
by all of our coaches, by those who support the athletic program
and by the leadership of the university. At this transitional time in
the life of our athletic department, I know of no one better to help
us chart a future course for that department than Tommy Sadler.”
Sadler and his wife Michelle, a teacher in the Jackson-Madison
County School District, make their home in Jackson.

UNION UNIVERSITY
season outlook
The 2012 Union University volleyball season will begin
with many changes taking place both in the volleyball
program and the athletic department. In addition to the
Union Athletic Department beginning year-2 candidacy
of the NCAA Division II membership process, the program welcomes in new head coach, Christine Mooberry.
Mooberry comes to Union after four successful seasons
at Montreat (N.C.) College.
Mooberry and first year assistant coach Lauren Ruther
will work to continue the successes of the Union volleyball program since its beginning in 1998. Mooberry has
assembled the largest roster in program history with 13
players, five of which are returning. Seven newcomers,
all of which are freshman, will be called on to contribute
to the program early in their careers.
“A lot of changes are coming this season with Union
moving to NCAA, the Gulf South Conference, new head
and assistant coaches, and more than half of our team
being players new to the program,” Moobery said. “I am
excited about the team’s energy and excitement. I am
looking forward to seeing what hard work and passion
can do, as well as reaching for some great goals off the
court.”
Union’s volleyball squad is a young squad with just two
upperclassmen, one senior and one junior. However,
several of the younger players have already proven
their worth as three of the five returners started last
season. Included in that list was the TranSouth Conference Freshman of the Year and first team all-conference
player, Savannah Hughes.
The lone senior is four-year player Lauren Sprouse.
Sprouse has been a solid player on the back row as a
defensive specialist and libero. She has one of the best
serves on the team with 21 aces, led Union with 360
digs and was named an NAIA Scholar Athlete.
Jamie Humphries is the only junior on the team. She is a
conference scholar athlete who has contributed in each
season during her career, mostly as a quality defensive
player.
Three sophomores dot the roster for Union including
Lydia Wright, Abbey Wainwright and Hughes. All three
played significant time last season as freshmen. Hughes
led the team with 328 kills, while Wright led with 49
aces and was third with 326 digs. Wainwright played in
just 91 sets due to injury but still managed 189 kills.
The largest class on the roster by far is the freshman
class. The seven newcomers to the Union program
include Kristen Cook, Micaela Bailey, Morgan Morfe,
Mallory Baker, Elise Suefert, Linsey Mirtsching and Erin
Hennesy. The young but talented players will work to be
major factors in Union’s success as it navigates through
the early years of NCAA competition.

Gulf South Conference
GSC HISTORY
Academic excellence and a leadership role in the NCAA’s
Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something
special. The GSC is a charter Division II member and enters
its 43rd year as one of the premier conferences at any NCAA
level.
In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to talk
about athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league
emerged—the Mid-South Conference—started by, and to
this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that
CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work
and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross
country, men’s & women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s
tennis, men’s & women’s golf, softball and baseball) so bitterly contested in a collegial manner.
From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Dating back
to 1997, the league has found neutral sites paying sizeable guarantees for most of its team
championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or -inspired legislation. No
one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased
its own built-to-its-specification office space. But the crowning moment came in 2005-06, when
the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package which included nine football games
(now 10) and its men’s & women’s basketball tournament finals. Add to that the newly branded
of “GSC DigiNet” video platform and the broadbanding of most of its championships and you
can see why the GSC is a Conference paving the way into the 21st century.
The GSC takes pride in their 46 National Team Championships in 13 sports and more than 100
regional titles, especially because there is no sacrifice on the academic side, where GSC studentathletes regularly earn Academic All-America. Three GSC teams advanced to NCAA Title contests
in 2011-12, led by Valdosta State which claimed the league’s first-ever Softball Crown.
Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Jacksonville State, Livingston (now West
Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Troy State were the charter GSC members. Scheduling
problems for the 1970-71 academic year limited the GSC to football, won by Jacksonville
State. In 1971, the addition of Southeast Louisiana (SELA) and Nichols State increased the
membership to eight. The league opened an office in Hammond, LA, changed its name to the
Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College and
Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later,
NELA left for Division I with SELA and Nicholls State following in 1979.
The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State,
followed by West Georgia (1983). In 1991, Tennessee-Martin and Troy State went Division I,
briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members. An aggressive expansion under the guidance
of new Commissioner Nate Salant resulted in 10 new members: Lincoln Memorial (1992-93);
Alabama-Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women
(1993-94); West Florida (1994-95); and Arkansas-Monticello, Arkansas Tech, Montevallo and
Southern Arkansas (1995-96). Jacksonville State moved to Division I at the end of 1992-93.
Mississippi College dropped to Division III at the end of 1995-96, and was replaced by Christian
Brothers to keep the Conference at 16 schools. In July 2000, the GSC welcomed Harding
University and Ouachita Baptist University, making it the largest NCAA conference at any
level with 18 schools. MUW dropped its athletics program at the end of the 2002-03 season,
decreasing the membership to 17. The Conference decreased to 15 teams in 2006-07 when
Central Arkansas reclassified to Division I and Lincoln Memorial moved to the South Atlantic
Conference, then 14 after Montevallo departed to the Peach Belt Conference.
The GSC dropped divisional play after the 2010-11 season when its six Arkansas members broke
away, dropping the membership to eight. The Conference did not wait long to implement an
aggressive expansion plan, sponsoring the Division II applications of Union University (TN) and
Shorter University (GA), which were accepted into the NCAA reclassifying process in July of
2011, and will enter as GSC provisional members in the 2012-13 season. The GSC took another
step in bolstering its membership this summer, backing the Division II application of Lee
University (TN) which was accepted by the NCAA in July of 2012. The league also bolstered its
football membership when it agreed to add Florida Tech as a football-only member beginning in
2013.
Former Commissioner Jim McCullough brought the GSC office to Birmingham. Current
Commissioner, Nate Salant began his tenure in October, 1992.
