Dated info.

Then University of Alabama President Witt recruited family member to be among first group of University Fellows–now renamed Witt Fellows.

President Witt told me he modeled University Fellows program after the University of Georgia Foundation Fellows program. Both are outstanding opportunities.

Great program for connections to internships & jobs.

P.S. The Honors College did adopt two of my recommendations, but this was over a decade ago. Still in effect. Meaningful benefits. UA Honors College works hard to benefit their students.

OP: I just read a September, 2024 post regarding colleges that your son visited. I am familiar with several of them (WFU, U Georgia, U South Carolina). Based on your son’s reaction to these schools, he should like U Alabama Honors College. Hard to beat Athens, Georgia and the University of Georgia, but Tuscaloosa is smaller and still Southern. Consider the University of Mississippi Honors College if he wants a truly Old South experience. Lots of Northerners attend.

As an aside: U Alabama has more non-resident students than residents. Greek life is unusually important at U Alabama-moreso than at U Georgia (and it is important at UGA.)
