While helping small farms in Alabama, researchers at The University of Alabama and the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú hope to provide agricultural solutions that assist a class of nutritious vegetables to last longer in supermarkets and kitchens.

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