Molly Amick of Trussville was recently selected as a member of The University of Alabama Blackburn Institute’s class of 2025.

Only 50 students are chosen through a highly competitive process to be a part of the 2025 Blackburn class.

The Blackburn Institute is a leadership development and civic engagement program specifically focused on improving the state of Alabama. Through its work with students, alumni (Fellows), and Advisory Board members, the institute develops a network of leaders who have a clear understanding of the state’s challenges. Selected students participate in a common new student curriculum of activities and events, after which they continue their involvement as returning students for their remaining time at the Capstone.
