<p>On April 12, the Alabama Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers presented Randy Glaze, Southern Nuclear Fleet Safety coordinator, with a $1,000 scholarship for his pursuit of a master’s degree in safety engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Glaze was presented the scholarship at the chapter’s annual recognition breakfast in Tuscaloosa.</p>

<p>The scholarship is awarded each year to one student in the program, and Glaze was selected out of 138 students by the UAB safety engineering graduate program faculty.</p>
