Our History

In 1963 when the first freshman class of new Mobile College was tasked with choosing a mascot for the school, they took this responsibility very seriously. They wanted a mascot that showed strength and power, and the Ram definitely fit the mark. From Mobile College to now the University of Mobile, our Ram mascot has served as a constant symbol of the strength, endurance and higher purpose to which we are called.

Whether you are a student, UM graduate, faculty or staff member, or a supporter who cheers on our championship teams or attends events like Christmas Spectacular, you are part of the Ram family. Being a Ram means being a part of a community – a family united with a calling to serve God and serve people.

At The U, we seek to serve the entire UM Ram family with choice products that help remind, inspire and reflect the values that the University of Mobile is known for. From the vintage vibes of The 1961 Company to the Mobile Makers Collection featuring products from our alumni, we aim to provide a brand that celebrates our 60+ years of history and inspires our future. One way we do that is through The Rampage catalog, named in honor of the university’s first student yearbook that was published in 1964.

There is a sense of pride knowing you belong here and that there will always be a connection to the people who walk across this campus. No matter how far away you travel – how long ago you graduated – or where God leads you on your Great Commission journey – once a Ram, always a Ram.

We are Higher Education for a Higher Purpose. We are the University of Mobile Rams. Go Rams!
