WE HAVE A WINNER 🏆
Meet Mia, our $500 Say Hi Scholarship winner!
At Connect Fest, Mia stepped outside her comfort zone, connected with fellow Blazers while also tabling for the Japanese Culture Club and Movement Against Educational Inequality. Through those conversations, she discovered just how much she loves connecting with others and we love that spirit!
As Mia shared:
“UAB gave me the opportunity to ‘say hi’ to so many amazing people. I have met incredible friends, classmates, and faculty, and along the way realized how much I love connecting with others and hope to continue to for the rest of my time at UAB and beyond it.”
Congratulations, Mia! 🎉 Thank you for showing us how one simple “hi” can lead to meaningful connections, new friendships, and opportunities.
