Working through simulations, team activities and shared knowledge from industry professionals, a handful of faculty-selected upper-level College of Human Environmental Sciences majors at The University of Alabama recently took part in the annual Crenshaw Leadership Academy during the 2021-2022 academic year.

Thomas McCleskey, of Hartselle, was one of the leadership academy participants.

As part of the Academy, student teams researched and developed presentations for the culminating event held April 1 at Embassy Suites in Tuscaloosa. Students shared their findings at the retreat and heard from keynote speaker Jim Page, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama.
