 So today the ribbon-cutting of the new Tutwater Hall is the beginning of an exciting new era for female freshman students at the University of Alabama, and they truly find a home away from home here at our campus in in Tutwater. Some of my greatest first-year memories were actually over an old tut, but it was visiting new friends, making ones across the hall, and getting to meet such a large portion of our class and who I still am friends with today. I am confident that these formative memories that I had will be transformed and mirrored here in these beautiful facilities. Well, here we are. 54 years later, and my granddaughter is a freshman and lives just up there, and we are having so much fun. For the better part of the last decade, we've been looking forward to this day. This day when we can cut this ribbon and dedicate this new and improved Julia Tutwater Hall.
