Alumni Giving
The University of South Alabama, we're the pride of the Red, White, and Blue. Loyal, strong, and faithful to our Alma Mater true. It’s more than a fight song—it is YOUR University. From the first time you stepped on campus as a freshman to the moment you received your diploma, South was, and will forever be, your home. There are many opportunities to give back to your University — all gifts are appreciated and no gift is too small. Thank you for being a loyal, strong and faithful alumni.
Ways to Give
The Julian and Kim MacQueen Alumni Center is the home for South’s more than 93,000 alumni. Located in the heart of campus, the 15,000-square foot, state-of-the-art facility will house the Chief Calvin W. McGhee Grand Ballroom, the McKinney Family Greek Plaza in honor of Sigma Chi Fraternity, a spacious lobby, a 30-seat boardroom, meeting rooms and administrative offices.
Plans for a new alumni center began in 2015 and became a reality when Julian ’73 and Kim MacQueen came forward with a $2 million gift. Julian MacQueen, founder of Innisfree Hotels headquartered in Pensacola, realized the importance of building a permanent alumni home on campus.
The MacQueen Alumni Center opened its doors on January 24, 2020. Read the story here.
