Ways to Celebrate
You've completed the projects and papers and tests, participated in classes on Zoom, and (no big deal) but you finished college in a pandemic. It's safe to say you deserve a celebration—and a HUGE one at that. So we've delivered. You'll find everything here from the snacks and drinks you'll need to toast to your new UAB degree to decorations to give your space a little Blazer spirit for the big occasion.
Add some Blazer Spirit to your party
Place a poster in your window. Decorate your grad cap. Make your own at-home Blazer photo booth by attaching printables to wooden dowels or Popsicle sticks, then hanging a green and gold backdrop on your wall with painters tape. Finish your party with some more UAB swag, Birmingham decor, flowers, banners, balloons—anything that makes your celebration unique to you.
Get Crafty
Make your own decorative graduation tassels—and even a quick confetti popper for a grand finale explosion of green and gold.

Share Your Spirit on Social Media
Your college graduation is a huge deal and we think you should let everyone know about your accomplishments. You could use a bullhorn, a highway billboard, or one of those planes that pulls a sign—but those could be hard to find, so social media is a good start! Share your graduation festivities with those who mean the most to you by wearing your Blazer gear and snapping photos of your special celebrations on your social channels. You'll find all sorts of UAB-themed stickers to spice up your posts by searching "UAB" on the GIF tab of Instagram Stories and Snapchat. Also don't forget our special UAB Graduation Instagram filter which can be found on our Instagram profile.

Here in Alabama, a place of rich diversity,
