As we come to the end of graduation season, UAB’s director of Student Counseling Services shares several ways for recent college graduates to improve and maintain their mental health.
Incoming high school freshmen and all high school students are eligible to apply to attend the 2024 Ada Long Creative Writing Workshop Summer Camp. From June 10-28, the 30 selected students will have the opportunity to work closely with accredited industry professionals.
UAB’s Collat School of Business will host a weeklong business-focused summer camp June 10-14 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Twenty Birmingham-area high school students will be chosen from a pool of applicants to attend. 

Camp CSI: Birmingham is designed to show high school students the reality behind the forensic science depicted in popular culture. Students will receive hands-on training in collecting evidence, dusting for fingerprints, searching for blood stains and even analyzing DNA evidence.

The camps will offer high-school students opportunities to get hands-on experience designing, building and programming drones and remote-controlled “Rover” vehicles.
Middle and high school students can register today for a comprehensive, music-making summer camp experience in the Magic City.
