Sip n' Social for Parents Recap

Parents Networking

The nest may be empty. They've made that last trp to Tuscaloosa for move-in, As they take a breath of relief, it's time to network with other parents. Each year CrimsonAti provides a social just for parents. This year's event was held on August 20th at March First Brewing. CrimsonAti provided one free drink ticket, a door prize ticket, and some delicious appetizers catered by March First.

These parents from Madeira were the lucky door prize winners

We owe a big thank you to Shannon McAffry-Davidson, CrimsonAti VP, for providing this beautiful Bama basket.

A big thank you to these Board members. Shannon McAffry-Davidson, Tyler and Eddie Bogdanowicz (Young Alumni and Scholarship).

Everyone knew Kelly Watson, our Admissions Recruiter.

We were fortunate to have our Admissions Recruiter, Kelly Watson, in attendance. Kelly has been our Recruiter for 18 years. She estimates we have over 200 students attendig UA from Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and northern Kentucky,

We had several 'newbies' attend, their first time with other Bama parents,

Our parent social gives everyone an opportunity to network with neighboring parents. 'Newbies' are always full of questions about Tuscaloosa and the campus, and parents of current and former students work with them to 'learn the ropes'.

The Browns are parents of a former student nw working on his PhD at UAB,

There is no doubt that our parents will keep in touch with one another for years to come. We thank our volunteers that helped make this social a success. Thank you to March First for hosting us. Roll Tide!
