 I grew up in the small town of Plannersville near historic Selma, Alabama. No one in my family went to college, so when I was young, I didn't think much about where I might go, other than to cheer on the tide on a football weekend. At first, I thought I might go out of state to get away and avoid high school 2.0, but when I came to UA, I knew this was the right place for me. I'm meeting people from all over the country with different ideas and different perspectives, and it's all right here in the state that I love to call home. The opportunity to build a big, diverse community of friends through all the ways I'm involved on campus has been amazing. At the end of my freshman year, I was selected for Capsule Men and Women, the university's official ambassadors, and last year, I was elected president. So far, I've led over 400 tours of campus. Through Capsule Men and Women, I've grown in every imaginable way and have developed leadership skills that will benefit me for the rest of my life. I'm Preston McGee, and I'm building my legendary future at the University of Alabama. Roll Tide.
