University of Mobile

The university was founded in 1961 by the Alabama Baptist State Convention under the name of Mobile College.

Along with Arendall and Bedsole, President Weaver also oversaw the addition of housing cottages, which would eventually be named Avery Woods.

President Magnoli oversaw the addition of the university's fourth student housing unit, the 3-storied Ingram Hall.

Mobile competes in 22 intercollegiate varsity sports: Men's sports include baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis and track and field (indoor and outdoor); while women's sports include basketball, beach volleyball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor) and volleyball; and co-ed sports include competitive cheer and spirit squad.

The school's intercollegiate program began in 1985 as one of the first acts of the newly appointed President Magnoli.
