We are making UAB better by using survey data to enhance success and address concerns and opportunities at the school and department level through detailed action plans.
Data–driven strategies and close collaboration across campus allow us to recruit and retain top students, which has led to four years of record enrollment.
UAB’s impact extends to every continent through research, education and service partnerships that spread our discoveries and share knowledge with the world.
These two new systems allow faculty to manage their accomplishments and activities, find cross–disciplinary collaborations and streamline publications and grants.
We are committed to shared governance, with student, faculty and staff representation in decisions on everything from strategic planning and safety to parking and transportation to campus pride initiatives.
UAB’s participation in APLU’s Powered by Publics: Scaling Student Success expands our culture of collaboration, improves college access, advances equity and increases degrees awarded.
