Nia Francis named to leadership in Union College's Minerva Houses

2014 Oct 22

Nia Francis was named Finance Chairperson in Breazzano House, which is part of Union College's Minerva Program.

Union's Minerva House system is a unique way of blending academic, social and residential interests. All students and faculty are assigned to one of the seven houses, where the overstuffed couches beckon, and discussions on anything from Euclid to YouTube inspire lively debate. Many professors teach first-year preceptorials in their Minerva Houses, and some upper-class students live on the residential floors above the common areas. With a generous programming budget, the Minervas host hundreds of events each year, created and run by student house leaders.
