Scholars met with all members of the Alabama congressional delegation, gaining perspective on public service and their work on behalf of the state of Alabama.

The group also met with the Alabama Business Coalition, Protective Life Corporation, Alabama Power, American Enterprise Institute, Dux Group and C5 Capital to explore the intersection of business, policy and advocacy. An Alabama delegation staffer panel led by Representative Barry Moore's office gave scholars a closer look at careers on Capitol Hill, while a networking event hosted by Southern Company opened additional professional connections with UA System alumni and supporters of the Capitol Scholars Program. by @theuasystem

An unforgettable experience for the University of Alabama System Capitol Scholars. Tours of the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court and Pentagon, offered a closer look at leadership and national security, connecting classroom concepts to real-world settings.

As guests of the Chambers of Justice Thomas of the Supreme Court, scholars attended the release of opinions gaining a rare window into the work of the nation’s highest court.

In addition to organizing tours of the White House and The People’s House, UA alumnus and President of the White House Historical Association, Stewart McLaurin, hosted the Capitol Scholar farewell luncheon. We appreciate his hospitality and commitment to supporting the program. Group of students and program leaders on a rooftop overlooking Washington, D.C. by @theuasystem
