Get Involved

The UAB Office of Service Learning and Undergraduate Research connects students, faculty, and community nonprofit partners to enrich student academic learning, promote civic engagement, and to strengthen and support our local and global communities.

The 2019 Spring Expo included both undergraduate research and service learning presentations. It celebrated excellence in research, service learning, creative activity, and scholarship by showcasing the endeavors of undergraduate students. It was held on April 18-19.

For service learning, the Expo is an exposition of student and community engagement collaborations from students engaged in service-learning courses. Service learning students have the opportunity to gain presentation experience and to celebrate the projects and collaborations between community partners, UAB, and our greater community.
