EVENTS:

Black Alumni Outreach
Please Note: This event has been postponed due to inclement weather. Please check back soon for more details.
Please join us in Birmingham on Saturday, April 27, for a day of service with Auburn Alumni in Action. We will be serving the needs of CHILDREN’S VILLAGE, two long-term placement facilities for children in the area who have suffered severed family relationships. There are separate homes for boys and girls located at 2001 18th St. SW, Birmingham. We will need volunteers to do light yard work, painting, pressure washing and cleanup. Come out for a few hours and give back to the community in the Auburn spirit that reflects the Creed--and the human touch.

Sign up here for shifts and donations

No time to volunteer? Drop off your donations that day and still contribute to this great cause. Can’t wait to see you on Saturday, April 27, starting at 10 a.m.

Summer picnics bring together family
More than 40 alumni and friends gathered to celebrate summer and the Auburn spirit during the Auburn Alumni Association's annual MAIN picnics in Atlanta and Birmingham. The association provided barbecue; alumni, friends and family brought sides and desserts to share. There were opportunities to network and reconnect with other alumni and several friendships were rekindled. Door prizes and special "members-only" drawings were held. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in a community project and raise funds for Auburn's Alumni PLUS scholarship. An "AUsome" time was had by all.

Why do you contribute to the Alumni PLUS Scholarship benefiting minority students?

"When I was an undergrad student, I received many scholarships from individual contributors in addition to grants that allowed me to graduate free of student loans. I often wondered what drove those contributors to donate to someone they didn't even know. Now, as an alumna, I believe that desire to give is fostered by a yearning sensation to see [our] Auburn scholars graduate and represent Auburn University well throughout the country. I have grabbed the baton of contributing to the educational development of current and future Auburn Tigers by donating to the PLUS fund. I challenge all alumni to do the same."

Auburn's PLUS scholarship program gets boost from Wachovia donation.
