Blount Lighthouse Lobby
Meet the Faculty Series
The Blount Lighthouse Lobby series is a forum where students meet and interact with faculty from all over the University campus. Our aim is to introduce Blount students to faculty and disciplines they otherwise might never encounter in their time at UA, foster more informed communication about the opportunities the University of Alabama has to offer, introduce the UA faculty to our amazing Blount students, and to promote the Blount Scholars Program.
