Campaign Priorities
For almost 200 years, the University of North Alabama has served as an anchor – an anchor in the Shoals community, an anchor for the students, faculty, and staff who live, work, and play on the campus, and an anchor in the lives of UNA’s more than 75,000 alumni and countless friends.
Our dedication to our mission to educate tomorrow’s leaders, preparing them for the global workforce is unshakeable. Ensuring that we are able to continue this vital and lasting mission for generations of students to come takes us all, and our success depends on each one of you.
Today, we are asking you to Shine On, Gold.
