Una is not one chatbot doing everything. It is a set of AI experiences, each built around a specific moment in a student’s time at Unity Environmental University.
Every version of Una has a different job. They share one goal: make information easier to find, support easier to reach, and everyday college questions easier to work through.
New capabilities get added where they make a real difference, not simply because the technology exists. Unity weighs each one against real evidence of what it delivers.
Start exploring.
Una helps prospective students find information about Unity’s programs, tuition, financial aid, and the application process. Ask a question, weigh your options, or get pointed in the right direction.
Know what comes next.
Ask Una Navigator about your status and next steps, from start dates to financial aid to degree progress. It answers from your own records and asks before it changes anything.
Work through the hard parts.
Una Guide lives inside Unity’s coursework, asking thoughtful questions that help students think through difficult material instead of handing over an answer.

ALIGN: AI Built for Learning
Una Guide and Una Scenario run on ALIGN, technology developed in house by Unity’s learning and AI experts. It’s designed with energy efficiency in mind, and more configurations are on the way.
It’s a fair question, and one Unity hears often: why would an environmental university adopt a technology with its own environmental footprint? Here’s the straight answer.
“Simple: our responsibility is to prepare people to make informed decisions about technologies that are changing their world. That requires engagement, evidence, and judgment.”
Dr. Melik Peter Khoury
President and CEO
Unity Environmental University
As an environmental university, we don’t get to look away from AI’s footprint. We hold it to the same standard as any decision here: evidence-based, and tested against the benefits.
Refusing AI outright wouldn’t remove the responsibility to understand it, or put Unity in a position to shape how it’s used. Students are entering workplaces where AI is already part of the job. Preparing them to question it and judge when it’s justified is a role worth leading, not catching up to.
Una is where that standard applies first. ALIGN, the system behind Una Guide, runs on up to 1,000 times less energy than typical student-facing AI models. Efficiency and learning aren’t a tradeoff. They’re the same goal.
We’d rather be judged on what we build than what we say about it. Come learn with us, work with us, or partner with us.
There’s more to Una than a few answers can cover. Ask away.
Una is Unity Environmental University’s always-on sidekick, built to expand what Unity’s advisors and staff can offer, not stand in for them. Una answers the real questions you’re thinking about the moment they come up. Degrees, courses, deadlines, transfer credits, how to even begin, all of it’s fair game. Ask anything, any hour, and Una will meet you where you are.
Anything about Unity. Programs, start dates, tuition, transferring credits, what studying online actually looks like, whether campus visits are an option, and everything in between. If there’s something Una doesn’t have on hand, you’ll be pointed to someone who does.
No. Una is for anyone curious, whether you’re exploring your options, comparing programs, or wondering how to make going back to school possible. Una can help you figure that part out too.
Because Una isn’t guessing. Una is built specifically for Unity, grounded in Unity’s own programs, policies, deadlines, and data (not general knowledge from across the internet). Ask a general AI about Unity and it might get details wrong or out of date. Ask Una, and you’re getting Unity’s real, current answers.
Always. Una handles the first questions and the late-night ones. Unity’s team picks up whenever you want a human conversation.
No. Talking with Una is just talking. You decide if and when you want to share your contact information or hear more from Unity.
Both. Una can answer your questions and walk you through starting your application – no need to hunt down a form or wait for office hours.
Una’s built to know what it knows and to say so when it doesn’t. If a question needs a real person’s judgment, Una will point you to one instead of guessing.
Within a conversation, yes – Una keeps track so you don’t have to repeat yourself. Starting new, Una will need a quick refresher.
Every good story needs a character. Una is Unity’s own, one of a kind, built from the best parts of every good dog you’ve ever met.
