The 49
The “49” is a new student coordinating body that is working to help connect students from out of state to opportunities for campus/community involvement, mentoring programs, outreach for other students from out of state, and programming to help students adjust to life in Alabama and at UA. The “49” planning committee is composed of 2 students from each state represented at UA. These students will meet together over the course of the year to help identify ways to assist students from out of state.The “49” will plan programs and develop outreach opportunities so that students from out of state can find their voice and place on campus.
The “49” is a brand new program that is in its first year. We are hopeful that all students from out of state will be able to participate in programs created by the “49” planning committee and that in turn these students will help increase the outreach we are doing on campus. Any students that would like to help us out with planning, representing their states, or just participating in activities should contact Josh Burford in the Office of Student Involvement & Leadership at burfo003@sa.ua.edu, or by calling 205-348-6114.
