UAB will celebrate the power of collaboration and innovation at the 2026 Community-Engaged Scholarship Showcase.

This year’s theme, “Scholarship with a Purpose,” highlights UAB’s commitment to advancing its public mission through meaningful partnerships that improve lives and strengthen communities. The showcase will feature the community-engaged work of faculty and staff that strengthens communities, expands access and opportunity, and improves quality of life—demonstrating how research, teaching, and service become rigorous scholarship when they are intentional, evidence-informed, reflective, and shared.

The scholarship showcase is co-sponsored by the UAB Office of Access & Engagement, the Office of the Provost, Center for Teaching & Learning, Center for the Study of Community Health, the Service Learning & Undergraduate Research, and Blazer Pulse.
