This Fall, UA will be transitioning to digital mobile ACT Cards. All incoming students, faculty and staff will be able to download a mobile ACT Card for iPhone or Android cellular device. Those with physical ACT Cards will still be able to use them, but if the card is lost it will be replaced only with a mobile card, unless the person does not have a qualifying mobile device.
More details here: https://bit.ly/ACTCardsOnMobile“Mobile ACT Cards are more secure through the use of DUO multifactor authentication. They’re faster, provide encrypted transactions and have a lot of health benefits being an online self-service option, such as being contactless.”

Starting this fall semester, The University of Alabama will be moving to digital mobile ACT Cards. All incoming students, faculty and staff will be able to download a mobile ACT Card for iPhone or Android cellular device.

The University of Alabama will hold joint spring and summer commencement exercises over three days beginning Friday, July 31, at Coleman Coliseum on the UA campus. https://bit.ly/SpringAndSummerCommencement

To maintain physical distancing guidelines, nine different ceremonies will take place throughout the weekend, with a maximum of 530 graduates participating in each.

Ceremony times for each college:
Friday, July 31
9 a.m.- Arts and Sciences I

Each graduate may invite up to four guests to the ceremony, and tickets will be distributed prior to commencement. Guests must arrive and sit together. Event staff will escort groups to their seats, and they are asked to remain seated until instructed to exit by row.

Masks are required for everyone attending the event. Graduates and guests are encouraged to bring their own masks.

There will be sanitizing stations throughout the coliseum, and the venue will be cleaned between all ceremonies.

A live webcast will be provided for all ceremonies for those who are unable to attend due to underlying medical conditions or other concerns.

More information, including an interactive campus map, parking information, lodging details, graduate profile stories and fast facts about the 2020 spring and summer classes can be found on UA's Commencement website. Commencement information can be heard on UA’s radio station, 92.5 FM, and radio streaming is available here: ready.ua.edu/925fm/

All commencement plans are subject to change at any time due to health concerns and there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place where people are present. Any changes will be communicated directly to those graduates attending the ceremonies and through the commencement website.

#HighlightOurHeroes "I have been a CNA at Floyd Medical Center in GA for 2 years! I’ve been showing my tide pride while working with an Alabama headband to help keep straps off my ears! We luckily have enough PPE at my hospital and have been blessed with 2 N95s every 10 shifts and a face shield to wear into rooms! It’s tiring while working with all this on, but it has helped me reassure that nursing is the career path I want to go into! Thanks for supporting us students!"

#HighlightOurHeroes "I’ve been working in the COVID ICU units in central Alabama since 3/13/20 when the first patient in Alabama was diagnosed. It has been an extremely taxing two months to say the least. I have 6 years of ICU experience and I have never seen, or even heard of, anything like what we’re seeing today. It’s been amazing how our ICU nurses have stepped up to another level to care for these patients. Bringing patient advocacy and patient safety first and foremost!

In the coming weeks and months, UA's Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will host a series of virtual webinars and curated conversations about race in our country. For more information about these events, Dr. Christine Taylor's full message, and additional resources, click here: https://bit.ly/MessageFromDEIA message from Dr. Christine Taylor, our vice president of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion + information on events happening on campus this week ↓

Events: A virtual vigil for those who have lost their lives to racialized violence Thursday, June 4, at 6 p.m. and a campus conversation on coping during trauma Friday, June 5, at 1 p.m. More details can be found at the link below.

We all have entered this horrific national experience through different doors and view it with different lenses. If you are entering the experience with a desire to use your privilege to affect change, I encourage you to begin by learning about how to be an effective ally. This work is not easy nor seasonal, but rather it is necessary and must be consistent over time.

As our community along with the nation grapples with all that we have seen and experienced, there yet is another call for us to 1) courageously stand up to some difficult truths about our country; 2) understand the history of these difficult truths as context is everything; and 3) most importantly, be willing to act in order to affect change.

To help us deal with these emotions and chart a path forward, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion over the next weeks and months will host a series of virtual webinars and curated conversations about race in our country. We encourage your participation. For more information about these events and resources on how to get involved, read the full message from Dr. Taylor: https://bit.ly/MessageFromDEI ...

#HighlightOurHeroes "Working in central Florida’s only level one trauma center ER, my job is always filled with uncertainty. COVID-19 has given our unit a new meaning to strength, courage, and teamwork. I am so blessed to work with such a fearless group of ER nurses that work as a team and family every shift. During this time we treat everyone as if they have COVID until we know they don’t. Our hospital is constantly working on how to improve the way codes and intubations are run to avoid as much exposure to our staff as possible and sometimes that means I’m the only nurse in the room while we code/intubate. COVID-19 has changed healthcare forever, but I am humbled and honored to be a frontline nurse through these trying times," Kendall Meyer, BSN, RN, 2019 CCN graduate. ... See MoreSee Less

NAHN is a proud partner of the All of Us Research Programs through the Community and Provider Gateway Initiative, a collection of organizations representing diverse communities from across the country. This network aims to promote enrollment of communities that have been historically underrepresented in biomedical research."
