We are proud to present the 77th edition of The Idol, Union's only art and literary magazine. This year's cover emphasizes how The Idol has long been a part of the Union tradition, a tradition that we are delighted to pass along. One of the benefits of a liberal arts education is that students have the opportunity to pursue academic interests that extend beyond their majors. The Idol strives to recognize the wide range of literary and artistic talents within the Union community, and to compile this creative energy.
