Alumni Spotlight

UAH alumnus Josh Magette signs NBA contract with Orlando Magic »

Good health and tenacity, that's what keeps Josh Magette ('12, COB, Finance) in the game of professional basketball.

"I've always told myself that I will take my career one year at a time," said Magette. "I've been blessed with good health and my body is still feeling great as of now so I am hoping to continue my career as long as both of those things remain true."

An alumnus of UAH, Magette recently signed a one-year, two-way contract with the National Basketball Association (NBA) team, Orlando Magic. Orlando competes in the NBA as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The former UAH Charger and two-time all American will split playing time between the NBA G League team, the Lakeland Magic, and the professional team in Orlando.

UAH's Fitzgerald Dodds adopts positive mindset to become top student researcher in Kinesiology »

Fitzgerald Dodds was in restart mode in fall 2017. It was his first full semester back at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). Dodds was determined to correct the mistakes he made before and "put everything" into earning his degree.

Dodds' first attempt as a UAH student stalled because of financial problems and other personal matters, resulting in a "lackluster" academic performance.

UAH alumnus Van V. Brown 'sells' Huntsville »

Van V. Brown III ('81, BSBA, MGMT, MKT) began mastering the ins and outs of the business world while a high school senior working in one of North Alabama's most popular department stores, Dunnavant's.

"I worked with a number of older established women and gentlemen who managed the store," he said. "Advice was plentiful. And, sometimes I listened and somtimes I had to learn by trial and error. I still refer back to the advice even today," said Brown.
