Spring Gala slogan: Rooted in service and spirit for generations. 

Spring Gala has been an annual event anticipated by University and community supporters each year since its inception in 1997. Hosting this event on its given Saturday is one of the highlights of the year for the UL Lafayette Alumni Association. Proceeds from the evening are dedicated to funding initiatives by the Alumni Association.

Bill & Betty Lowry & Family will be honored for the 2020 Spring Gala.  We are honored to recognize them this year for their continuous dedication and enduring pride in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and our community.

After much consideration, the Alumni Association has decided that our 2020 Spring Gala will be a virtual experience with our live and silent auctions online and open to the public. There are several changes that will be made to this event to make sure that it is safe for our honorees, guests, volunteers and staff.
