Stay Connected. Make an Impact.
The Division of University Advancement helps alumni, donors, friends, and community partners stay connected to UNA and support the university’s continued growth. Through alumni engagement, media and public relations, advancement resources, university news, events, and giving opportunities, the division connects people with meaningful ways to participate in UNA’s story and make a lasting impact on students, faculty, and the broader university community.
Remain Part of the Pride
Alumni chapters, Homecoming, and events throughout the year keep you involved long after graduation. Local alumni groups will connect you year-round.

Every gift—big or small—goes directly toward scholarships, faculty support, and new facilities. The current Shine On, Gold campaign pursues a $100 million goal, the largest fundraising effort in UNA's history.
