The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has comprehensively assessed how it can best serve the entire campus community after recent changes to state and federal law, including Alabama Act 2024-34 (formerly SB129).
Among other changes to ensure compliance, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has closed. All campus activities and resources will comply with Alabama Act 2024-34 (formerly SB 129) by the Oct. 1 enforcement date. UAH will continue to provide resources and support to every member of its campus community as it looks to broadly serve and promote the success of all UAH students, faculty and staff.
Students are the top priority
UAH attracts a wide array of students from across the United States in rural and urban communities, first-generation college attendees, military, veterans, adult learners and more. UAH’s top priority is to recruit and retain students of all backgrounds and to provide open and equal access to resources and opportunities to achieve success.
UAH has made adjustments that will continually support a welcoming and supportive campus. The University has created a new office to accelerate recruiting and retention strategies and to provide enhanced support to all students. The Office of Access, Connections, and Engagement will focus on the following initiatives to serve all students throughout the collegiate life:
- Choose UAH, a pre-collegiate initiative, where the Office will engage with the UAH Admissions Office to promote the campus to high schools throughout Alabama.
- UAH Today will help all current students to navigate and create connections across the campus community and the greater Huntsville region.
- Finally, Success After UAH will be geared towards helping all students access options after graduation that will lead them to a rewarding future.
