Homepage Clone-New President

Welcome to The University of Alabama – the place Where Legends Are Made.

The University of Alabama’s aligned sense of pride and purpose runs through this campus to each and every individual I’ve met. That pride shines in a commitment to student success, to public service and citizenship, to solving problems that matter, to success in athletics, to educating the next generation of leaders of Alabama and the world.

Together we’ll build on the exceptional work happening today, and we’ll ensure that every student who leaves this University is ready to succeed and make a difference. This University will continue growing as an engine for economic innovation and development. Together we can tackle the big challenges that matter most to Alabama and beyond.

This is a place for changing lives; not only the lives of our students, but also their families and the communities we serve. What we do has a transformational ripple effect that cannot be measured. To serve this university at this moment is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Roll Tide!

Dr. Peter J. Mohler
President
