The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), distinguished by its commitment to the quality of education provided to students, is dedicated to collaboratively working to establish a roadmap to achieve continued enrollment growth and improve our students' success. The Strategic and Unifying Campus Collaboration that Empowers Students to Succeed (SUCCESS) Initiative is creating that roadmap. Through strategic planning, investment in our people, and collaboration, we will ensure that UAB continues to be a decidedly sought-after destination by highly qualified students empowered to be successful.
Over the past year, we partnered with Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) consulting services to advise us in developing our strategic roadmap. RNL worked diligently to gather feedback from our stakeholders, review our organizational structure, and assess our current practices. Additionally, we conducted an internal survey, receiving over 700 responses from our community. This inclusive process has been instrumental in shaping our path forward.

The SUCCESS Initiative aims to build on UAB’s enrollment growth over the past decade and create a seamless experience of student support from initial interest in UAB to graduation.
“Our SUCCESS initiative will be all about integrating and improving the student experience, from a student’s first interaction with UAB all way through their alumni status and beyond.”
—Dr. Janet Woodruff-Borden
