As graduates of the UAB School of Public Health, individuals become valued members of our public health alumni community of over 7,000 individuals from around the world. While all UAB alumni automatically become members of the larger UAB National Alumni Society, our Office of Alumni and Development creates public health-specific opportunities that invite our alumni to stay connected, informed, and involved with their School of Public Health family. To learn more about engaging with the SOPH through one or more areas listed below, reach out to us at SPHalumni@uab.edu.
