Yesterday, August 28th, we welcomed a new cohort of the Emerging Scholars Program to The University of Alabama. This Fall, we have almost 60 students, freshmen through juniors in our Semester 1 cohort. Not only did we have class yesterday, but we also held a scavenger hunt with students from UA 155, UA 156, and other Emerging Scholars alum. This semester, Dr. Bissell and I are committed to not only providing ESP scholars with information about Undergraduate Research on Campus but also to promoting a sense of community within ESP. The ESP First Annual Scavenger Hunt was our first community-building event of the academic year, with more to come! This event was a huge success and culminated with pizza, cookies, and visits from the Vice President for Research and Economic Development, Dr. Pinkert and the Associate Vice President for Research, Dr. Higginbotham.
