While helping small farms in Alabama, researchers at The University of Alabama and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ hope to provide agricultural solutions that assist a class of nutritious vegetables to last longer in supermarkets and kitchens.

The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has announced a $1.38 million-dollar grant funded by the National Science Foundation for a partnership with Bevill State Community College, Coastal Alabama Community College, Demopolis City Schools, and University Charter School to enhance STEM curriculum for students. Dubbed Project INSPIRE, the project allows for a total of 20 individual scholarships and 13 stipends over five years for those pursuing STEM careers.

In 1989, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ (then Livingston University) became the first public institution in Alabama approved to offer a bachelor of science in athletic training. Now, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has also become the first approved by its state and national accrediting bodies to offer a master’s degree in athletic training. Students who want to enter the field can even earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in a single program in only five years.
