The UAH College of Nursing will host the Health Equity Symposium on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024. Open to the public and free of charge, the event will bring together health professionals, governmental officials, nonprofit leaders and other stakeholders to share best practices and innovative approaches to community health challenges. 

“By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, we aim to develop impactful solutions that address pressing health challenges in our communities,” said Dr. Karen Frith, Dean of the College of Nursing at UAH. “This conference is an opportunity to collaborate, innovate and inspire action towards better health for individuals facing significant challenges.”

This past weekend, Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) cadets put lessons into practice during a field training exercise (FTX) Nov. 7-9 on Redstone Arsenal. The rigorous schedule included day land navigation as well as attack, patrol, ambush and three different positions on a grenade course.

“We cover as much as we can here to help prepare cadets for cadet summer training,” said Cadet Heidi Kaeding, a UAH business administration major and an MS (military science) IV, the senior ROTC level. “In the Army, accountability is everything."

Ledia Shehu, a doctoral student at UAH, has been selected to receive a NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) grant to develop a multiscale model for 3D-printed concrete using lunar materials.

“Sending materials to the moon is incredibly expensive,” she says. “Our solution – using lunar materials to create printable and buildable concrete – will significantly reduce costs and provide a more practical approach to building on the moon.”

Last week, The University of Alabama System (UAS) Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Spragins Hall women’s volleyball coach’s office. The office will be named in honor of Leila L. Nabors, founding head coach of UAH volleyball.

Dr. Pamela Hudson, a member of the UAH Foundation Board of Trustees, made a $15,000 gift to support the volleyball program and to honor the contributions of Nabors to the program and UAH Athletics. “While Coach Nabors’ legacy is really written in the hearts of her athletes, it seems fitting to put her name on the wall as well and to honor her service to women’s athletics by this contribution to UAH Athletics,” she said.

The UAH men's basketball team is primed for their first home game of the season on Tuesday evening as they host Point at 6:30 p.m. at Kelly Court in Spragins Hall. Fans in attendance will receive a free rally towel to help cheer on the Chargers in their home-opener. Fans can also participate in the halftime toss-a-ball challenge, sponsored by UAH Kinesiology. General admission to all UAH men's basketball regular season home games is free this season, courtesy of Bentley Automotive.

The UAH Department of Music, Theatre and Film will once again kick off the holiday season with Holiday Jazz, a festive evening featuring food, drinks and a variety of performances by students and faculty. The event will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 10, on the UAH campus. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this holiday favorite!
