SJR 97 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

The University of Alabama, commended

This bill is a Senate Joint Resolution that formally commends the University of Alabama for its upcoming construction of a Reserve Officers' Training Corps Facility and Student Veterans Center. The resolution recognizes the university's commitment to supporting military training and veteran students with a nearly 20,000 square-foot facility scheduled for completion in spring 2027. The document highlights that the new center will provide modern training spaces for Army and Air Force ROTC cadets and offer resources for student veterans to transition from military to college life.
