4 days. 10 colleges. 500 high schoolers.
Vision Days is a campus-wide effort focusing on early recruitment of high school students from rural and underrepresented areas in our home state of Alabama.
We want Alabama 9th graders to set their sights on UA.
Over a four year period, high school students will receive materials from their chosen school of interest and return to campus with their cohort to learn about different areas of campus life.
