Legacy Scholars is a community for first-gen college students at the University of Alabama, designed to build connections among students who are starting a new college legacy. This program also has a Mentorship Program where an adult who was a "First-Gen" can provide extra guidance, answer questions, and just simply "be there" for a new student who comes to UA as a "First-Gen". Interested in learning how you as a First-Gen Alumni can now help the next generation conquer what you went through as a first-gen student?

On August 16, Board Members helped welcome in new faculty for the 2023-2024 academic year at The District Room. Over 14 new faculty have joined forces with their colleagues to help lead the charge for social justice and inspire the next up-and-coming generation of social workers!

The Staff and Faculty helped welcomed back over 125 students on August 29th in between classes with cookies, iced coffee, and a photo booth. Ten Student Organizations within the School of Social Work were in full force to educate and recruit students to join a variety of student clubs as well. Join us next year to help welcome back our students on the 1st day of classes!
