UNA underwent many transformations up to and throughout the year 2003. The look of the campus changed. Gone are the days when one could drive through campus; the new plaza and fountains have made the campus look and feel less like a commuter college and more like a community. Parking lots are being replaced by much-needed dorms. The student population has become more diverse throughout the years. Now, stu- dents are coming from all parts of the globe to attend UNA, enriching its culture. In academics a new major was added through the efforts of the College of Business and HES of the College of Education, which joined forces to create a pro- gram to prepare students to work in the hospitality industry. And through that major, students are able to participate in a brand-new co-op program with Point Clear Hotels and Resorts, which will enable them to make contacts for future career options. With the volleyball team clinching its first-ever NCAA Division II National Championship and the football team finishing a near-perfect season, UNA has revamped into a hotbed of athletic pride. And let ' s not forget the pride that Leo III and Una give not only to UNA but to Florence as well. UNA has been revamped many times throughout the years and will continue to reinvent itself with pride. ”
