Self is a recent graduate of The University of Alabama’s College of Communication and Information Sciences and was a recipient of the scholarship last summer. The Cullman County native was chosen by the department to receive the scholarship, as he will be returning to campus in the fall as an incoming J.D. candidate at The University of Alabama School of Law.

“I cannot wait to get back to Black Warrior Riverkeeper and intern again this summer,” Self said. “Working with the organization last year is what made me really decide to go to law school, and it was such a rewarding experience to have been able to see the real impact this group has on the Black Warrior River watershed and surrounding communities. I am so excited to get started with furthering their mission again this summer, all with the skills I received at C&IS and UA."

Since 2008, the Munson Foundation has supported UA’s Advertising and Public Relations department with scholarships for water conservation internships.

Self aspires to practice environmental law, saying that the work of Black Warrior Riverkeeper is particularly relevant, due to his family living in Cullman County, which is part of the Black Warrior River watershed..

“Seth Self will be our first two-time Munson intern,” Black Warrior Riverkeeper Executive Director Charles Scribner said. “He has developed tremendous skills through The University of Alabama’s Department of Advertising and Public Relations and we are excited to have him back before embarks on new studies at The University of Alabama School of Law.”
