UM Activities Begin for 2007-08

It’s a busy year at the University of Mobile, where the third annual Scholarship Banquet, Homecoming and Christmas Spectacular concert are just a few of the many activities on the calendar.

An expanded athletic program gives Rams supporters even more to cheer about, with men’s and women’s cross country and men’s tennis added to the mix of championship NAIA programs.
