A Pivotal Moment for Hewson Hall: A Letter From Culverhouse Dean Kay M. Palan

Dear friends,

As you are perhaps aware, the Culverhouse College of Business at The University of Alabama is close to securing all the necessary funds to commence construction of Hewson Hall. The tally thus far stands at $25 million raised through gifts from many of you, our most committed friends and supporters. Speaking on behalf of the entire Culverhouse College of Business family, we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you.

However, in order for the University to authorize construction, we must raise $30 million, which represents half of the project’s total cost. Read a press release here that details where we are at in the Hewson Hall fundraising campaign. 

Serving as a gateway to the western edge of campus, Hewson Hall will provide the learning space and high-tech amenities Culverhouse needs to accommodate projected growth in its student body, as well as much-needed offices, conference rooms, and function areas.

The time is now at hand: to open the doors to Hewson Hall for classes in fall 2021 as planned, we must have the last $5 million secured and the paperwork signed by Homecoming Weekend in late October.  We are eager to break ground on this incredibly exciting project and look to you to help us meet our deadline through your support.

To help us make our goal, a donor has just announced a $2.5 million matching gift – all gifts received from now until Homecoming will count toward the match, and you can help us make that goal.

Are you ready to be a part of the future of the Culverhouse College of Business? 

  • Hewson Hall will feature several distinct and highly-visible lecture and classroom spaces, and naming opportunities for some of those spaces remain.
  • All friends and alumni of Culverhouse are invited to contribute any amount they wish to name a classroom in honor of Dr. J. Barry Mason, Culverhouse Dean Emeritus. A list of contributors will be sent to Dr. Mason.
  • Seats can be named in the large lecture hall, at $500 per seat, or $200 per seat in one of Hewson Hall’s case classrooms.

Thanks and Roll Tide!
