“The University of Alabama honors the life and legacy of Dr. Annette Nevin Shelby, a distinguished alumna, faculty member and scholar whose influence helped shape this institution and generations of students. Dr. Shelby exemplified the highest ideals of academic excellence, civic engagement and lifelong learning.
“Her contributions as a teacher, researcher and champion for the arts and education extended far beyond the classroom. The Shelby Endowment for Distinguished Faculty and the Shelby Institute for Policy and Leadership stand as reflections of her enduring commitment to cultivating leadership, service and scholarship.
