The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees met at UAB and the program included an annual highlight of the institution. This year, President Watts decided to do something a bit different than other years. In highlighting the accomplishments as a University to the Board, he decided to draw attention to a small handful of outstanding faculty. He invited 5 faculty who represent excellence in their respective areas: Outstanding Nurse, Physician, Educator, Researcher and Investigator. He chose Dr. Jeremy Day to highlight as an example of an outstanding research scientist! When President Watt’s gave the short backstory of the faculty's accomplishments, he asked them to stand in the audience - then President Pro Tempore Karen Brooks asked them to come forward. Although this may not be an official award, this is a huge honor! Congratulations, Jeremy!!
