Blazer Answers is a tool for the student body, faculty, or any observer to submit questions, comments, or suggestions to the Undergraduate Student Government Association. This platform is an excellent way to get your voice heard so that USGA can make changes that improve your experience at UAB! Your feedback is invaluable, as it allows USGA to assess and act on issues that are especially pertinent to the student body.
To submit a response, you can log in with your BlazerID, sign in as a guest using any email address, or submit your response anonymously. All submissions will be reviewed, and our team will respond to you within a timely manner.
Please note that anonymous submissions will not receive any direct response, but will be reviewed like all other responses.
Responses to anonymous submissions:
- Re-entry and commuter students: There will be indoor spaces available for between your classes. Please reference UAB IT’s Safe Study Spaces website for live occupancy rates of campus buildings. More locations will be added shortly!
- Re-entry and the SHOW campaign: The SHOW messaging campaign was created after collecting over 600 student responses. Messaging was selected based on what resonated with UAB students. The campaign will also be providing masks, apparel, and other merchandise to promote the following of safety guidelines.

Freshman Forum is an organization dedicated to giving freshmen the opportunity to become an integral part of UAB's Undergraduate Student Government Association. In order to allow the freshman voice to be heard, the organization aids students in the development of skills such as: identification of issues on campus, innovation of solutions, and interaction with peers who have differing opinions. Through networking and learning professional etiquette from their student government peers, members will attain the knowledge of what it takes to play an active role in any student-run organization. Freshman Forum prepares members for a journey in student government during their entire undergraduate career.
