About
The A-Team are experienced student leaders who welcome new students to UA through Camp 1831. To prepare, they spend the spring semester training on UA history, traditions, campus resources, student life and the Tuscaloosa community. During and after Camp, they support incoming students, help them feel connected to The University of Alabama, and share advice for a successful college experience. The A-Team must embody the spirit of the Capstone and demonstrate what it means to be a University of Alabama student to participants.
