Non-profit and community-based organizations often turn to UAB for technical assistance and student support. At the same time, faculty, staff and students rely on community organizations to maintain the University's link to understanding issues and concerns outside UAB.
By working together, UAB and community partners are able to address each other's needs and build viable, long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial.
