The Division of Community Affairs at The University of Alabama invites undergraduate students to embark on an exciting excursion to Selma, Alabama, on Friday, November 15. This guided bus tour offers participants an opportunity to explore the historic sites central to the Civil Rights Movement, with a focus on the Voting Rights struggle, while also connecting them to potential community-engaged careers and internships in the State of Alabama.
During the trip, students will visit key landmarks such as the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Dallas County and the United States Civil Rights Trail Interpretive Center in Lowndes County. Also, students will engage with local leaders, organizations, and professionals working to promote opportunities in Selma and the surrounding communities. These interactions will provide insights into career pathways in public service, non-profits, education, tourism, and other fields committed to community development.
The tour will depart from The University of Alabama campus at 8:00am on Friday, November 15, and will return to campus at approximately 6:30pm.
For more information, please contact Dr. Jackson Harris at (asajharris@ua.edu) or Jake Peterson (jtpeterson2@ua.edu).
This opportunity is open to current undergraduate students at The University of Alabama. The interest form for the Fall 2024 Student Community Engagement Tour was closed on Sunday, September 29. Please check back regularly for information about upcoming tours.
