For our 2025 Bama Blitz funding project we are raising money for the Calvin Brown University Libraries Student Support Fund. Mr. Brown was one of the founding members for the University of Alabama Libraries Leadership Board, formed in 1999 as an advisory body to the Dean of Libraries to support our mission to provide the best resources and services far all students, staff, and faculty of the Capstone. Calvin Brown’s infectious enthusiasm for the University was matched only by his warm and welcoming personality, and he served the Leadership Board in many roles, notably as chair from 2006-2008.
The Calvin Brown University Libraries Student Support Fund helps University Libraries host a series of events that encourage students to make important connections that will impact their lives for many years to come. These events are opportunities to promote University Libraries, our resources and services that are so vital to student success. Calvin Brown knew the importance of developing personal and professional relationships as a student, as a businessman, as President of the National Alumni Association, as the Chair of the University Libraries Leadership Board, and as Director of Alumni Affairs. Join with University Libraries, and his many friends on our Leadership Board, by supporting this fund named for a gentleman who devoted his life to building community across generations of Alabama graduates, who meant so much to the University of Alabama and University Libraries.
