Mentor Ashton Greer, who recently defended her dissertation as part of graduate work in civil engineering at the University of Alabama, enjoyed the breaks outdoors from grad school life. Greer said she has been cycling for the past few years. The community of women cyclists in Tuscaloosa helped her get into mountain biking and feel comfortable. “As busy as I was, I found it to be something I genuinely looked forward to each week. I think we all got a lot more than we expected,” she said.
In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes.
