Senior Bailey Barrow of Pinson has been named a Student of the Year through the American Advertising Federation Birmingham TEN Awards.

Barrow is the only student in Alabama to receive this award for 2016. The award recognizes exceptional design students who are actively participating in the design discipline and community.

Barrow represented UAB at the A2RU Emerging Creatives Student Summit in Detroit in March, and her group won a $1,500 grant for their concept to create a community project to be undertaken this fall at UAB, which will create a space and opportunity for students of differing disciplines to collaborate on various projects.
