About
Our goal for our Honors New Student Experience is to not only familiarize you with UAB but to get you engaged in your new city through a “Day of Service” with local community organizations. We strongly feel that a day of service is an excellent opportunity for you to experience city culture, learn about your community, and to see how you can stay engaged during your time at UAB.
Please sign up for ONE shift. Registration will close at 12 pm on August 15. If you do not sign up for a shift by 12 pm on August 15, you will be automatically assigned. Masks are optional but encouraged for all indoor activities.
