The Rising Tide 2.0 will add 1,000 new endowed scholarships and fellowships and create the next generation of leaders like Raeed Kabir, a senior mathematics and economics double major at UA.
Mentorship, research support and collaborative academic opportunities through the Randall Research Program and the Office of Undergraduate Research have guided Raeed’s journey into social science research.
UA will further its aggressive stance in the race for top faculty like Dr. Jonathan Hall by adding 75 new faculty endowments through The Rising Tide 2.0.
Hall's research analyzes connections between real estate and transportation to influence effective policy change and fiscal decisions.
With 500,000 square feet of facilities completed, The Rising Tide 2.0 will continue to impact learning and collaboration spaces to grow innovators like Layla Khan-Hickman.
The Digital Media Center at UA provides Layla and other creatives a world-class space to learn all aspects of digital storytelling and refine skills for filmmaking alongside professionals.
The Crimson Standard component of The Rising Tide 2.0 will raise $600 million for athletics facility enhancements and scholarships to continue elevating student-athletes and heighten the excitement for the Crimson Tide.
The opening of The Crimson Reserve, a top-flight private golf practice facility for UA's men's and women's teams, provides technique improvement and peace of mind for Jonathan Griz.
A $35 million gift commitment from University of Alabama alumnus J. Frank Barefield, Jr. to name UA’s College of Arts and Sciences has helped The Rising Tide 2.0 Capital Campaign reach yet another fundraising milestone: $1.8 billion.
The Barefield College of Arts and Sciences was announced on June 6 and is the second college on campus to be named. The fully discretionary endowment allows college leadership to “act quickly, think boldly and lead purposefully” in the areas of research, retention and student support.
