The University of Alabama at Birmingham Division of Student Affairs has been named one of the "Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs" for 2023 by the American College Personnel Association – College Student Educators International (ACPA) and Diverse: Issues In Higher Education.

This honor was given to 27 schools nationwide. UAB Student Affairs earned this recognition because of its commitment to accountability, collaboration, equity, innovation, integrity, and wellbeing.

“In our division we always strive for excellence, whether that is removing a barrier to success for a student, increasing access to services, or to collaborate with partners across campus to be innovative and hold one another accountable, Student Affairs is a place where all Blazers can thrive,” said Student Affairs Vice President John R. Jones, III, Ph.D.

The award focuses on workplace diversity, staffing practices and work environment, and uses a web-based survey to examine family friendliness, salary and benefits and professional development opportunities.

“It is an incredible honor for our staff to be recognized in this way. The work doesn’t stop here, we will continue to build on our successes for the next generation of Student Affairs professionals.”
