As an art student and fellow with UAB Digital Media, UAB has opened my eyes to all the opportunities here in Birmingham by exposing me to actual client work, which has helped prepare me for the real world.

Collaboration between UAB and area companies opened the door for me to work at a Fortune 500 company during much of my undergraduate experience.

I wouldn’t have had this research opportunity and mentorship anywhere else. Between research and teaching, I have grown professionally at UAB. I feel really prepared
to go to medical school.

The academic-focused environment, ample opportunities to get involved on campus, and chance to be a part of the Birmingham community all attracted me to UAB.

When I came here I decided to do everything, and that really enriched me and made me who I am today.

I knew I was going to be somewhere for eight years, so I wanted to be happy. The proven leadership is outstanding at UAB and it felt like a family that I wanted to be part of.
