有影响力的女性 (WOI) is open to female 首页 and friends of the K8彩乐园 who contribute $250 or more annually to the 有影响力的女性 Fund at the UNA 基金会. This program allows philanthropists who share a passion for and commitment to our students at UNA to come together and make a collective difference by partnering directly with UNA’s First Lady Dena克里斯多福. 作为她的标志性倡议, one-third of the donations raised each year will be designated to the philanthropic priority of the First Lady’s choice. Since the inception of WOI these priorities have been the Caring for the Pride fund, and North 阿拉巴马州 Athletics’ female student-athlete initiative; $50 for 50. Annual votes by WOI membership determines the disbursement of the remaining two-thirds of the funds so that every member has a voice in how the money will make a difference at UNA.

作为WOI成员, you will be invited to two campus-based meetings and receive an exclusive look into the heart of UNA. 成员们将听取教师的意见, 首页, and students firsthand about how the University has made a difference in their lives.
