SHP DEI Art Installation

The UAB School of Health Professions values diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

Our diverse students, faculty, and staff provide the roots to build a strong foundation of acceptance and respect.

We pledge to grow our understanding of DEI as we strive to positively impact our school and our global community.

A Symbol of Strength and Growth

Commissioned by the UAB School of Health Professions and supported by the SHP DEI Committee, this tree symbolizes our commitment to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment.

We chose a tree to signify strength and growth. The tree is made beautiful by the diverse people and ideals of the SHP family.

The trunk of the tree represents our strong foundation of acceptance and respect. The branches of the tree follow their own unique path, just as we do. On the branches are signs of growth, but there is room for more, signifying our continued efforts to understand and exemplify the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our Message to All

Welcome to the UAB School of Health Professions! We celebrate our differences, which make us stronger; and we value learning from one another, which brings us together. In the SHP family, diversity matters, equity matters, inclusion matters, and you matter.
