📬🦁 Postcard from ROAR II

Greetings from the Pride! Today’s postcard comes straight from the heart of campus, where our newest Lions are making memories, finding their way around UNA, and beginning their journey as part of the UNA family.

From campus tours to new friendships, ROAR II is bound to be filled with excitement, discovery, and plenty of purple! We are eager to welcome another group of future Lions to Florence and can’t wait to see all they accomplish this fall!

✨ Join us in wishing Jada Winston the very best as she takes the stage this week at Miss Alabama! 👑💜

From being crowned Miss UNA 2026 to representing the University of North Alabama on one of the state’s biggest stages, Jada has inspired our campus with her grace, talent, leadership, and Lion pride. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and can’t wait to cheer her on throughout the competition this week.

Good luck, Jada! Your UNA family is behind you every step of the way. 🦁💜

Orientation season is officially underway! 🎉

Our team just couldn’t resist stopping by to catch the brand-new ROAR skit this morning, and it did not disappoint. Seeing future Lions experience the excitement, traditions, and spirit of UNA for the first time reminds us why we love this work.

We can’t wait to welcome the Class of 2030 and help them begin their UNA journey. 🦁💜💛

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country this Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

As we remember and reflect, the Center for Student Engagement will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026, and will resume normal operations on Tuesday.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday weekend.
