All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Coffee or hot cocoa and a sweet treat frame a practical invitation: learn which UAB academic support services and campus programs might be useful, and where to start. The interactive open house brings several university departments into the same event.
The event names First-Year Experience, Libraries, Service Learning and Undergraduate Research, the University Writing Center, and the Vulcan Materials Academic Success Center (VMASC). That mix reaches beyond one kind of academic question: visitors can explore a range of campus programs and support areas in a shared open-house setting.
UAB identifies current students and faculty and staff as the intended audience. The event is also framed around collaboration, so its purpose is not limited to students seeking help; faculty and staff are included in the invitation to connect with campus services.

VMASC describes its general work as supporting undergraduate success through tutoring, supplemental instruction, academic advising, success advising, workshops and study hours. That gives a sense of the academic help represented by the center at an open house about student resources. The department’s description covers its broader services, not a confirmed list of what will be offered or staffed during this event.
