As we celebrate our centennial, we are also at a pivotal moment. We will soon break ground for a state-of-the-art building that will house education, research and collaboration rooms.
Hewson Hall will be a transformative addition to the Culverhouse College of Business, establishing a new heart for the College that is on par with the very best business school facilities in the country. It will be a place that gives students the space to create and collaborate and faculty the room to conduct innovative research.
This year the Culverhouse College of Business Bama Blitz passion project has two distinct and special opportunities for Hewson Hall: named seats and a classroom named in honor of Dean Emeritus Dr. J. Barry Mason.
Named Seats
The forthcoming Hewson Hall will feature several distinct and highly-visible lecture and classroom spaces. All friends of the College have the unique opportunity to name seats in these spaces.
- Large Lecture Hall with 300+ fixed seats at $500 apiece
- Case Classrooms with 100+ total seats at $200 apiece
Named seats will include a plaque. Culverhouse staff will be in contact with you after Bama Blitz regarding the information that is to be placed on the plaque.
As part of Bama Blitz, the first 100 seats in the Large Lecture Hall will be “Centennial Seats.” The donors recognition plaque will highlight those who give to support one of these exclusive seats.
The Dr. J. Barry Mason Classroom
All friends of the College are invited to contribute any amount they wish to name a classroom in honor of Dr. J. Barry Mason, Culverhouse Dean Emeritus. Dr. Mason, who retired in 2011 after decades of service to The University of Alabama in leadership roles including a stint as interim President, is deeply beloved by all those who have had the pleasure of working with him. He is still involved in the Culverhouse community and attends many of its events.
Any contribution towards the classroom is appreciated and a list of contributors will be sent to Dr. Mason.
If you have questions regarding these two unique opportunities, please email the Alumni and Corporate Relations Office at acr@culverhouse.ua.edu.
