Instead of going under the umbrella of the UA (University of Alabama) system Birmingham University's board of trustees decided to branch out on there own and build the program up with their own funding and alumni contributions. "We are excited that this day is finally here. The support from the community and and alumni has been overwhelming and the future looks very bright." said Barry Mills, one of the trustees.
