“when our office was thinking of dynamic speakers for the UAB Fall Expo, we immediately thought of Ariel Smith. [Previously] We were fortunate to have Ariel work in our office as an AmeriCorps VISTA. She was a vital member of our team that helped build opportunities for engagement at UAB and in the Birmingham community…It was without a doubt, one of the best keynote addresses we have had in the 15 years of the Expo.”
