Roll Tide! Welcome to the online home of the Emerald Coast Chapter of The University of Alabama National Alumni Association. This chapter is an organization for all Emerald Coast area alumni and friends, including Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties.
We regularly organize events for our local Alumni, Friends of the University and local UA Students. Each Fall, our Chapter hosts game watching parties for each of our televised football games. In addition, we organize an annual Spring/Summer Reception at a local venue with a featured speaker from The University of Alabama. We need a number of Alumni volunteers to staff these events and coordinate various roles, so please join in and help support us with your time.
As you visit our new website, please share it with other local supporters of The University of Alabama. You will find our local chapter is a fun group of Alabama supporters who enjoy celebrating UA’s rich tradition of excellence in all that we do. Please reach out to us and revisit the website often for updates!
