We are monitoring the news about the anticipated impact of Hurricane Ian on the Southeast and our sincerest hope is that it has minimal impact on you, your family and friends.

Students, if you are affected in some way and need assistance, please let us know. We also understand events like these may create personal worry for many of you. UAB Student Counseling Services can provide assistance and resources for distressed students. To schedule a time to speak with a counselor call 205-934-5816.

We encourage you to contact your course instructors through Canvas and let them know if you must evacuate, suffer power or internet outages, or other disruptions due to Hurricane Ian. Faculty will work with you to determine how best you can meet course requirements in light of such disruptions. Please be safe and keep us apprised of your situation.

Our Office of Development and Alumni Relations is working to stay informed about our alumni in impacted areas. Please contact Emily Craig, 205-975-9419 or ecraig1@uab.edu, so we know you are safe, if you are affected in some way and need assistance or if you are mobilized in response to Hurricane Ian due to military, Red Cross or other service.
