A certificate of insurance from your insurance carrier is required. University Mall LLC and Finard Properties LLC must be listed as additional insured on your certificate. This form may also be faxed to (802) 863-5836.

Please note: The Community Space works best if you create large window displays or signs to be eye-catching and generate interest from passers-by. Have fun and be creative with your display. We encourage your organization to post the display one week in advance, on the Monday prior to your Saturday event for maximum exposure.

Mall Walker Program

University Mall invites the public to "Walk the Mall". Increase your physical fitness through walking in a safe, climate-controlled environment. Mall walkers are welcome after 6:00am, Monday - Saturday and after 7:00am on Sundays. Two full laps around the inside perimeter of the Mall equals ONE mile. Please visit the Customer Service Desk for further details.

Scholarship of Excellence

Note: The scholarship program will resume once again in February 2011.

Since 2001 University Mall has awarded local students over a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships courtesy of owners Bill Finard, Todd Finard, and Rob Hughes of Finard Properties. Five area high school seniors will soon receive $5,000 each toward their first year of college.
