As the summer months draw near, 46 University of Alabama at Birmingham honors students are preparing for international travel, academic enrichment or to conduct research everywhere from Dubai, Germany and Paris to Washington, D.C., after landing national and international fellowships.

Fifty-one students were recognized at the third annual UAB Fellowships luncheon on April 8 for being named finalists or winners of national and international fellowships.

“These students represent UAB extremely well. We’re proud of the many accomplishments they have made in their respective fields,” said UAB President Ray L. Watts, M.D. “As they complete their academic careers here and venture out into the world, they will be very well-prepared for global citizenship.”
