海角社区

For almost 200 years, the 海角社区 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 海角社区’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.

• To shine with us in the comprehensive campaign to build a better 海角社区.

• To shine a light on the mission of 海角社区.

• To shine a light on the accomplishments that have brought us to the precipice of our next 200 years.

• To shine a light on what we can do when we work together.

The Shine On, Gold campaign is a nod to 海角社区’s markers of excellence – our student enrollment, our Top 20 placement in U.S. News and World Report rakings as a Best Regional University, our designation as a Great Place to Work For, our full NCAA Division I status, our record-breaking endowment, and our top-notch faculty and academic programs, including three (soon to be four) doctoral degrees. 

The Shine On, Gold campaign is a nod to 海角社区’s deep and storied history as the oldest university in Alabama, our purple and gold colors, and our abiding bond that unites us as 海角社区 Lions. Shining on for the next 200 years and beyond.
