How can a university in the Shoals of north Alabama shed its “Division II” academic reputation and attract students who’ll shape the future? By embracing its past. UNA has a rich history that no one really talked about. Until now. Mindpower helped the university connect its history to the present and the future.
Students at UNA are surrounded by the past (historic markers abound on campus), but they’re focused on the future. They understand that history is not just something you study, but something you make, every day. Prospective students are invited to be part of history
in the making.
You have to jump in and make the most of every opportunity. UNA encourages its students – and prospective students – to do just that. The university’s faculty and staff challenge their students – and cheer them on (there’s a storied tradition of mentoring
and nurturing).
UNA’s viewbook puts an irreverent spin on its history by introducing some of the university’s lesser-known stories and colorful characters, including the campus lions, Leo and Una (yes, real live, roaring lions). At the same time, it connects prospective students with the many opportunities they’ll have at UNA to carve out their own pages in the history books.
