UAB Student Affairs is proud to recognize Ebonee Whitson as the March Employee of the Month for her exceptional dedication to student success and well-being. Whitson serves as the assistant director of Student Assistance and Support.

Each month, an employee who exemplifies the Blazer Way is honored based on a pool of nominations presented to the Professional Development Committee.

What nominators said about Ebonee:

Ebonee plays a vital role in supporting students through personal challenges, advocating on their behalf, connecting them to resources, and even visiting those hospitalized. She takes a holistic approach to her work and goes above and beyond to create a sense of belonging for every student.

Her leadership was key in planning the Friday Night Live Fashion Show, a collaborative event that engaged more than 200 students and supported Blazer Kitchen through a campus food drive. She also advises two student organizations and has helped revamp critical resources like the "Red Folder" and hospitalization protocol.

Ebonee’s dedication, creativity, and care make UAB a better place.
