Future UA Students Join Recovery Effort
CBS 42 (Birmingham) – June 23
Summer’s in high gear and, for many high school graduates, that means getting ready for college. Those planning on attending the University of Alabama will get a different picture than what they probably remember. Two future UA students are doing something about that. “When I was going through the college process, I knew I wanted to go south and I knew I wanted football, and Alabama had both,” says Cassie Mireski, who will be a freshman at UA this fall. . . . Mireski and 22 of her classmates from Gill St. Bernards in Gladstone, N.J., are in town helping with recovery efforts. They’re touring an area that has a ton of history, but is in need of new memories
