Nonprofit organizations across the country are among many who feel the overwhelming impact of COVID-19. But last fall, when several Tuscaloosa nonprofits needed help like never before, the University of Alabama’s student-led organization Serving Bama found a way to safely continue vital, in-person volunteer services, and it continues doing so today.
“We knew that now more than ever, the Tuscaloosa community needed our support,” said Chloe Keck, a senior biology major who is team leader for Serving Bama. “It was important for us to find a way to continue offering services to our community partners, to be consistent and hands-on in the community, while being cognizant of the pandemic and the precautions we needed to take to keep everyone safe.”

Imagine being a person of color employed at a university and overhearing your colleagues make disparaging comments about you because of your background. Or standing at a street corner, and having a bad encounter with police.
University of Arizona associate professor Bryan Carter doesn’t want you to just imagine it in your head. He wants to you to view it a first-person perspective.
“Being able to immerse someone into a context like that is much more impactful just like studying abroad and being immersed in another culture is much more impactful than reading it and watching a video, said Carter, who s also the director of UA Center for Digital Humanities.
