Earlier in November, a group of elementary school students came to visit the University of Alabama campus. During their visit, they saw the Ferguson Center, took a formal campus tour, took a tour of Bryant-Denny Stadium and a tour of the WVUA-23 studio.

During their visit, the students were welcomed by Dr. Marysia Galbraith and escorted by students in her New College Cooperation and Conflict course this semester. The college students planned the field trip and participate in other ARTS workshops throughout the semester.
