Mitchell Family 历史

Arlene and Mayer Mitchell

The Mitchell name has become synonymous with generosity and unwavering support on the campus of the University of 南 Alabama. This landmark building is named in recognition of the late Mayer Mitchell, his loving wife Arlene Mitchell, and his brother 亚伯拉罕米切尔.

Avid 篮球 fans, the Mitchells bestowed a generous gift to ensure the completion of the 米切尔中心, which celebrated its opening in May 1999. 该大学的 1999 Spring Commencement marked the ribbon cutting at the 米切尔中心 and celebrated the philanthropic support of the Mitchell Family. In 2001, the family commissioned sculptor Sam Nettles, to construct the bronze jaguar statue that now sits on the north 设施草坪.

The 米切尔中心 hosts a wide variety of campus events from 南 Alabama Basketball to University Commencement as well as countless other community-engaging concerts, exhibitions, and festivals.
