Samuel Ogazi captured the 400m national title on the final day of the championships to lead the men, while Doris Lemngole highlighted the women with a runner up finish in the 5,000m.
University Spotlight
Now this is a really cool story! Thanks to a collaboration between Central Alabama Veterans Collaborative and Culverhouse LIFT, University of Alabama students are helping our veterans learn digital technology. They are teaching our veterans to navigate the challenges of digital technology, whether accessing VA digital records, pairing a phone with a new car, or a variety of everyday tasks that you and I may take for granted. What a great way to connect with our veterans and help them for all they have done for us.
#RollTideFriday
Our #RollTideFriday photo this week was sent to me from Ron Smithson, who was donning his Alabama Script A at the top of Angels Landing at Zion National Park. What beautiful scenery with just the perfect amount of Crimson and White.Â
