Capstone Men & Women

Hello!

Thank you for visiting the Capstone Menand Women website. Here, you will find out more about our group, including who we are and what we do on campus. Since 1976, the Capstone Men and Women have served as the official ambassadors for the University of Alabama. We assist the President’s Office, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and National Alumni Association in providing tours to prospective students of our beautiful campus. Additionally, we work a variety of University-related events throughout the year.

Be sure to click through the tabs to see pictures, obtain information on trying out for the group, and learn the steps of setting up a campus tour. I am proud to say that we have now worked for the benefit of students across the country and beyond to ensure they have made the best college decision for themselves during one of the most challenging times in recent history. We want to continue building on this legacy.

Thank you again for visiting and Roll Tide!
