Meet Evan Prizy

What inspired you to come to the University of Alabama?

“Dean (Charles) Karr, of the College of Engineering, held an informational dinner near my hometown for students who were interested in The University of Alabama.  I figured I would check it out and see it was about. After the presentation finished, I was pretty sure I had found my home for the next few years.  I hung on every word Dean Karr said. Everything he said about the University made me envision what life would be like as a UA student.  It just seemed right – like pieces of a puzzle fitting together.  My next step was to talk to Coach (Adam) Tribble about joining the team.  When that got the green light, I knew that the Capstone was where I belonged.  It had everything I wanted: a place for me to run, a lively student body, a great education and of course Bama football.”

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
