What is the Legacy Initiative?

In August 2020, in response to the December 2019 collapse of our iconic fountain, UNA Advancement launched The Legacy Initiative. This initiative was established to rebuild Harrison Fountain and Plaza, the heart of UNA’s campus, while also offering everyone the opportunity to establish their legacy at UNA and have their name forever etched in Harrison Plaza.

How can I have my name forever etched in Harrison Plaza?

The following opportunities are available for you to have your name etched in at Harrison Plaza:

• 4” x 8” brick
• 8” x 8” brick
• Trees
• Bronze Plaques
• Marble Plaques
• Benches

Visit this page for pricing and availability.

Can I establish a legacy for a family member or friend?

Absolutely! Establishing a legacy for a family member or friend is a great gift – one that will last a lifetime.

Legacy cards are available by request. Please email Morgan Fowler at menixon@una.edu  to request a legacy card. Please provide the name of your recipient in your email request.

When will my bench/tree/square/plaque/brick be installed?

• Namings secured between December 11 and June 10 will be installed by mid-September*.
• Namings secured between June 11 and December 10 will be installed by mid-March*.

*Please note that circumstances beyond our control (such as weather) may delay our installation.

How long will Legacy Initiative opportunities be available?

The Legacy Initiative has two phases:

Phase I is the restoration of the Harrison Fountain and Plaza and will continue until the project is fully funded.

Phase II is the securing of funds for the greatest needs and emerging priorities of the University. This phase will continue until every brick in Harrison Plaza, and the pathways leading to it, has the name of someone on it who loves UNA as much as we do.

We cannot guarantee how long any of these opportunities will be available, so we encourage you to establish your legacy today!
