Recognition Alumni awards and accolades Alumni in Action See who's doing what 3 5 4 Hello, I was honored to become dean of the School of Health Professions on July 1, 2019. I arrived in the midst of UAB’s 50th anniversary and that celebration continues on campus and in this edition of Snapshots. Inside, you will see how much this campus has changed over the decades, but you will also see how much has remained the same. It’s a place where exceptional educational opportunities exist and where outstanding clinical care, cutting-edge research and creative endeavors flourish. As I look toward the next 50 years, I reflect on UAB’s values: integrity, respect, diversity and inclusiveness, collaboration, excellence and achievement, stewardship and accountability. The list also includes a value that one may not expect from a School with the goal of producing leaders to shape the future of health care – and that value is joy. The feeling of joy – great pleasure and happiness – is fundamental to our existence as people. Helping our students learn, develop and thrive brings us joy. Watching our alumni grow, succeed and prosper brings us joy. Witnessing our faculty and staff’s daily efforts to keep our School in the upper echelon of higher education brings me joy. I wish you all the joy I feel and see around SHP. I hope joy permeates your purpose, your mission and your life. And I hope you experience joy reading Snapshots. Andrew J.

In 1848, French journalist and novelist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr said, “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” – the more things change, the more they stay the same. These photos capture that essence. On the left, student transfers circa 1960’s. On the right, student transfers circa 2018.

SHP ALUMNI E-MAGAZINE • FALL 2019 9 Practicing Physical Therapy Skills Homecoming Spirit Across Campus Our Department of Physical Therapy celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014.

In 1994, the celebration moved to the fall to coincide with football season where it continues today (right photo) as a week-long tradition that includes SHP’s Dodging for Degrees, Building Decoration Competition, the Gurney Derby, and a parade.Next >
