Faulkner University received a generous grant from the Alabama Power Foundation to support its growing College of Health Sciences and its students through the foundation’s Health and Human Services “Energy to Thrive” grant initiative.
The grant was presented to Faulkner President Mitch Henry on June 5, 2025 by Alabama Power Company executives Leslie Sanders, vice president of the Southern Division, and Mike Jordan, external affairs manager.
Since 1989, the Alabama Power Foundation has supported Alabama communities, educational institutions and nonprofits through more than 20,000 grants and scholarships—funded entirely by non-ratepayer dollars.
Grant funds will be used to purchase 16 Anatomage tablets as well as two 75″ Newline Panels (large tablets) that can be utilized by all programs in a variety of instructional activities. Students will have access to these tablets, which act like miniature versions of the college’s state-of-the-art anatomage tables used for body anatomy and digital dissection.
“This technology is next-level in healthcare education. These portable, hand-held devices help our students bring the human body to life in ways that are safe, interactive, and accessible. And they can fit in their backpack,” said Faulkner University Vice President of Advancement Billy Camp. “Thanks to the Alabama Power Foundation, our students will be better prepared for the hands-on clinical work they’ll be doing in their communities.”
