2018 - 2019 • Annual Giving Report 3 4 University of North Alabama MUSIC is the LANGUAGE of the SOUL
HOW UNA’S HARRIS SCHOLARS CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF DONOR THROUGH MUSIC.
Daniel Harris
By Michelle Rupe Eubanks ’96 For the Annual Report
There’s a warmth about Jim and Sharon Harris that pervades their interactions with others. Fearing visitors to their remote home have lost their way, for instance, the couple head out in their truck in search of wayward guests. Upon arrival on a chilly fall day, the couple has prepared warm cider and delicious cookies for their new arrivals. They are welcoming, generous, and genuine. It’s how they have lived their lives, and it’s how they raised their three children. “I guess you could say they really didn’t have a choice,” Sharon Harris said. “We were raised to think of others first, and it had to have had an effect on our children.” And when their youngest son, Daniel, passed away almost seven years ago, the spirit of giving wasn’t diminished. In fact, it was magnified in such a way that, today, five University of North Alabama students have benefitted from the endowed scholarship named after Daniel and specifically designated to those pursuing vocal performance degrees.

CAIN, HUNT GIFT OPENS PATHWAYS FOR TRAVEL FOR OTHERS
By Michelle Rupe Eubanks ’96 For the Annual Report
If you’ve spent any time on the University of North Alabama campus, you’ve likely encountered Drs. Butler Cain and Andrea Hunt. Dr. Cain is the Chair of the Department of Communications as well as a Professor; he and his wife Dr. Hunt, the Director of the Mitchell-West Center for Social Inclusion and an Associate Professor of Sociology, have recently made a gift to the University. After thoughtful deliberation about where and how they wanted their gift to be used, the two opted for a student support fund that would allow students opportunities to continue their educational experiences through travel to academic conferences. The two spoke about their gift and shared their thoughts on how travel has made all of the difference for them.

(Butler): I have witnessed in real time how travel changes students’ perspectives. It’s educational and empowering. They begin considering new goals and possibilities for themselves, and traveling requires its own specific skill set. Helping students learn how to travel while giving them opportunities to represent their academic program is important to their professional development.

IS YOUR NAME MISSING?
The Honor Roll of Donors contains names of individuals who have made gifts to the University of North Alabama between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019. There could be several reasons that your name does not appear in what you believe to be the appropriate giving level—or not at all:
1. You made your gift either before October 1, 2018, or after September 30, 2019. 2. You gave more during this period than you realize: Your name may be in the next giving level. 3. You made a pledge instead of an outright gift. If you made a pledge between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019, but chose to begin fulfilling it after September 30, 2019 , your name will not appear in this honor roll, which reflects only gifts received. 4. You are a corporate sponsor for Athletics and are recognized through advertisement opportunities. 5. You paid your Sportsman’s Club membership dues after January 1, 2018. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1), athletic contributions in exchange for the right to purchase tickets or preferred seating at a college or university athletic event cannot be counted as a charitable contribution. If we omitted your name in error, we would like to hear from you. If you have questions or corrections, contact the Office of Donor Relations and Prospect Management at 256.765.4861.
