welcome to The University of Alabama! We are pleased you have chosen to visit our campus, and we hope you’ll come back often. We continue to draw exceptional students from across the nation to our beautiful campus because of our strong academic programs, the success of our graduates and the strength of our athletic programs. Our alumni have made legendary contributions in a number of fields, and I invite you to read more about them at ua.edu/legends. During your stay, you’ll find many points of interest. Our two most iconic — and most photographed — images are Denny Chimes and Bryant-Denny Stadium. A third, and equally popular destination, is the Paul “Bear” Bryant Museum, located adjacent to Hotel Capstone. Denny Chimes, our own bell tower, is one of the most visible landmarks on campus, and it can be found on our quad, directly across from the President’s Mansion. Surrounding the tower is the Walk of Fame. Alabama’s football captains have placed their hand and footprints in cement slabs at its base since 1948. Stadium tours are available to the public on weekdays, but tickets are required and must be purchased in advance. Information is available at rolltide.com under Fan Zone. Walk-up tickets are available at the Bryant Museum.
Legends have been made in our academic halls, on our athletic fields and courts, and in our endeavors to shape a better world through our teaching, research and service.
In front of our College of Education, at the corner of University and Colonial, you’ll find a historical marker dedicated to Mrs. Autherine Lucy Foster, who became the first African-American student admitted to the University in 1956. Hers is a compelling story and one that has advanced the University in the decades since then.
Our legends wear many names — Inventor. Entrepreneur. Best-selling Author. Pioneer. CEO. National Champion.
These are just a few of our landmarks that you may wish to visit. Prospective students and parents can also schedule a campus tour through our Admissions office.
They earn prestigious honors — Pulitzer Prizes. Heisman Trophies. Emmy Awards. Golden Globes. Medals of Honor. Super Bowl Rings. Olympic Medals.
We are proud to be home to faculty and students committed to excellence, who raise the bar of achievement each year. We are passionate about developing tomorrow’s legends today.
We know a lot about legends.
We are excited to share our campus with you. Please come back and see us again soon!
