The University of Mobile is calling on alumni, friends and the community to come together and make a lasting impact in the lives of students by participating in UM’s Fall Day of Giving on Friday, Oct. 25.
It’s the university’s biggest fundraising event of the 2024 year. Every dollar given is a dollar that directly impacts students through scholarships, academic programs and opportunities for spiritual growth. For more information, go to umobile.edu/dayofgiving or call the Office for Advancement at 251-442-2913.
“Our Fall Day of Giving offers an incredible opportunity to make a real difference in the life of a student. Every student matters — and because of that, every gift matters,” said UM President Charles Smith.
“This is more than just a day of donations; it’s a day to unite around our mission of equipping our students to make an impact for the glory of God and the good of the world,” Smith added.
Every vocation is a calling from God
Since 1961, the University of Mobile has existed to train men and women to serve the Lord through the vocations to which God has called them, from mathematics to ministry, accounting to health care, education to English, the arts to the sciences, and more.
The university offers associate to doctoral degrees in over 75 academic programs and is one of the top small colleges in Alabama. UM recently was recognized as having the N0. 1 Best Dorms and No. 1 Safest College Campus in the state.
Every gift makes a difference
Brian Boyle, vice president for advancement, said every gift received during the Day of Giving is important.
“With every gift, no matter the size, you can play a vital role not only in helping students achieve their dreams, but in preparing them to be courageous and committed leaders in our community and beyond,” Boyle said.
On Oct. 25, University of Mobile’s social media will feature stories from students and alumni, give updates throughout the day from campus and at a companion event, the University of Mobile Golf Classic.
