University
of North Alabama
The University of North Alabama is located in the city of Florence, which is located in the northwest corner of Alabama. In addition to its rich history, Florence has the advantage of being situated on two lakes formed by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dams on the Tennessee River, which makes the city an important point for anglers, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts.
UNA occupies a beautiful campus on 130 acres in a residential section of Florence, Alabama. Florence, located just north of the Tennessee River, is the largest city in a four-city area that includes Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and Muscle Shoals, all located south of the river. The university’s initial campus facility master plan was developed by the world-famous Frederick Law Olmsted architectural firm who designed New York City's Central Park.
UNA has 150 student organizations, eight residence halls and more than 6,000 students. The UNA Lions football team is the only team in NCAA history to win three straight national championships, and the volleyball team is a perennial title contender. The school campus is home to our lion mascots, Leo III and Una, and also to our school president, Dr. Bill Cale, who lives with his wife, BJ, in a house adjacent to the lion habitat.
UNA Circle K is sponsored by the Florence Kiwanis Club, and our Kiwanis advisor is Sam Brentnall, a past Kiwanis Club president. Our club sponsors several projects each year including spirit booster bags for UNA athletic teams, UNICEF trick-or-treating, Boys & Girls Club Easter Egg Hunt, Support Our Soldiers Card Drive, Operation Christmas Child and visiting Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
