We have accomplished so much together these past 18 months. Among the many things we learned during the pandemic is that UAB is a resilient community of amazing people. Still, the idea of entering yet another academic year with heightened uncertainty is daunting.

Entering another school year during a pandemic is frustrating, and each of you plays an essential role in our special, resilient community. While this may not be easy, we can succeed together.

The spring semester is off to a great start thanks to all you continue to do to keep our campus and community safe.

This holiday season will be very different for members of the UAB community.
