Those who have been fortunate enough to experience what it is that makes The University of West Alabama such a special place know. Those who have walked the sidewalks, passed through the corridors, or rocked an afternoon away on the porch at Webb Hall know.
     Perhaps it was a professor who somehow changed from an intimidating force to a caring mentor over a four-year college experience, the building of a life-long friendship over lunches in the cafeteria, or even finding the love of a lifetime at a freshman mixer. It might be the long-ago memory of friends gathering in the parlor for tea, or a more recent memory of a long talk with Dean Homer, or an even more recent memory of an encouraging word from President Holland.
     While for many it may be impossible to put into words, for mere words are inadequate, thousands know. For nearly 175 years The University of West Alabama has been Alabama’s best kept secret. Countless lives have been changed by the intangible, unique Livingston experience. It is a sense of warmth, of family. Some say that, “it just feels right… there’s something about this place.”
     By making a financial contribution to the Annual Fund you can insure that countess more lives are changed by the indefinable, but singularly unique Livingston experience offered only at The University of West Alabama. Unrestricted gifts allow for the greatest flexibility in funding those programs most in need, but Annual Fund contributions may also be restricted to a variety of programs across a broad spectrum of donor interests.
     Take a moment to reflect on your UWA experience then consider making a contribution to the Annual Fund.
