Twelve faculty members from The University of Alabama were selected to participate in the 2024-2025 SEC Faculty Travel Program.
The SEC Faculty Travel Program is intended to support collaboration between faculty from universities in the Southeastern Conference. Selected faculty will travel to other SEC campuses with the goal of exchanging ideas, conducting research, developing joint projects, and delivering performances and presentations.
“Through the generous support of the SEC, this program provides our faculty the opportunity to collaborate with SEC colleagues on high-impact projects,” said Dr. Bryan Boudouris, vice president for research and economic development. “This year’s application pool was very deep, and we are pleased to support these projects.”
