The 2019 Fall Expo showcased the research and service learning work produced by UAB undergraduates and other students in UAB fall research programs, fall REU programs, and other fall opportunities. It was held on December 2 and 3.
This year, Alabama Power partnered with UAB through an innovation grant to enable students to further their innovative research to improve communities in Alabama. This research "follows the same standards of innovation that drive Alabama Power’s mission." Two awards of $5,000 were awarded.
