In August 1970, a group of students relaxed outside Tidwell Hall on 20th Street South, on the site currently occupied by the Hugh Kaul Genetics Building.
Following a period of restrictions for COVID-19 safety, on-campus events that will enable Blazers to gather together are again permitted. Safety behavior exhibited by students, faculty and staff enabled UAB to maintain relatively low COVID-19 transmission, so UAB leadership is reducing some restrictions that will enable students to enjoy certain programming that had been suspended.
