While not every student can qualify for university-sanctioned sports, intramural sports offer a chance for individuals to get involved in competitive programs, with or without prior experience and regardless of gender. With registration for the fall sports starting on Sept. 8 and with enrollment for the flag football league opening that day, students may find themselves interested in or curious about what intramural sports have to offer.

As the debut of the school year comes to a close, many students, faculty and staff are speaking out about our campus’s overcrowded parking lots.
With 79.5 percent of all undergraduate students commuting to campus, according to a data set compiled by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for the 2014-2015 school year, many have difficulty finding parking spots. Long walks to class from remote parking lots coupled with Alabama’s customary 90+ degree temperatures has drawn criticism to UAB Parking and Transportation.

What it means to be a Blazer

With homecoming week having just ended, it seems like as good of a time as any to reflect on what it means to be a Blazer. While this homecoming might serve as a painful reminder that the University of Alabama Board of Trustees uprooted our football program, it also reminds us that the UAB community is proud to stand-up and defend itself in the face of adversity. Even as the option of returning the football team seemed bleak, the student body, faculty and Birmingham community alike fought to have the team return. As fate would have it, we were successful, just like everything else Blazers do.
