We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Angel Tree. When our Angel Tree went live at Thanksgiving we had 38 children and 429 overall gift requests, with requests ranging from socks to iPods.
Within 3 weeks, everything was claimed! Although some items were either out of stock or difficult to fulfil without more information (there was a request for a swingset), all the children received a comparable number of gifts thanks to several monetary donations, and all pledges were fulfilled!
The gifts have been delivered to CASA for distribution to the children. They will be overjoyed.
You have been overwhelmingly generous, and we were all touched by the way groups and individuals participated. Thank you!

From baby dolls to bicycles to winter coats and underwear your gift can provide some much needed comfort and joy to these needy and deserving children during the holidays. Partner with your coworkers or family members to fulfill all of a child's wishes or to purchase one of bigger requests.
You can access the Angel Tree Wish List here or for more information about CASA and the UABSC Angel Tree Campaign click here.

We're so excited about the turnout we had last week at the Staff Convocation event! It was an all-around enjoyable day networking with President Watts and colleagues while enjoying good food and great music. We will be sharing pictures soon.
At the event we introduced a format for staff to share innovative ideas and opportunities for improvement through a crowdsource site called SPARK. Posting your suggestions to this site allows staff across UAB to vote on topics that are most important to them. The suggestion(s) receiving the most votes will be brought forward to the appropriate UAB leadership for further discussion.
You can take a look at the ideas already posted, vote on those ideas, or share an idea from our homepage and clicking on the SPARK icon on the right, or directly from this link.
We look forward to hearing from you!

University staff soon will have a new avenue for representation through a council that is being created to promote an exchange of ideas among its members and with the administration. “This staff council is an important new development for UAB,” said President Ray Watts. “As we continue to foster open dialogue across campus and to share the progress we are making at UAB, this council will serve as another vital conduit of information."
