The Southern Arkansas University Alumni Center, formerly known as the President’s House and Welcome Center, was built in 1958 and is a national historic landmark rich in tradition. The SAU Alumni Center lawn is home to “Mulegating” and provides a great place for SAU students, alumni and friends to enjoy food, pep rallies and make unforgettable memories before each home football game.
Legacy Lane, a
brick walkway, begins at the Alumni Center and ends at the Alumni Bridge. It has become
a tradition to walk the lane to the football field, allowing enough time to stop and read
the legacy inscribed on the bricks. The SAU Alumni Association wants you to be part of
Legacy Lane and help ensure its legendary future.
The brick road, known as Legacy Lane, located behind what will be the new Alumni Center, will be extraordinary! The Legacy Lane holds the history of our Alumni and what this university has stood for over the years. As more Alumni purchase bricks and continue the history, it gives a sense of solidarity to our current students. It symbolizes the solid foundation that this university was built upon. With these two great forces coming together, the Alumni Center and Legacy Lane, we strongly encourage ALL alumni to have a place where they can shine!
Your donation goes a long way. What have the Legacy Lane funds been used for in the past? The SAU Alumni Bridge, the Celebration of Lights Centennial Tree, the Donald W. Reynolds Center and the money is now helping to fund the state of the art Alumni Center, Lusby Gathering Pavilion, the Ann Furr Harrell Courtyard and the Franks Bowman Mule Grill!
The standard brick is $125 and you can even set up a payment plan with us! Get yours today here! Just follow the instructions and your legacy will be inscribed into our wonderful Lane forever!
