"I have always felt that college was a place to explore and find out who you are, and I hope this gift will allow Auburn to seek out professors who will challenge the students to be the best they can be."
Raymond J. Harbert, Class of 1982 -

“There is something here for everyone! No matter your interests, abilities or skills, there is a place on campus where your input, effort and opinions will not only be accepted, but valued.”
Taryn Wilson, Accounting major -
“At Auburn, I feel like we are treated as professionals. We are not just students with a number. The classroom experience is great, but they really encourage you to think critically and improve yourself."
Koparan Iscan, MBA Class of 2014 -
“I am able to take concepts that I learned in my classes and apply them to my daily activities with just a basic knowledge of marketing and what it is. Classroom education is standard for everyone but working education allows you to customize the way you use what you’ve learned.”

“[Football and flying] are very similar because you have to multi-task in both. In the air, you are making radio calls and listening to your instructor, who is like a coach beside you – minus the yelling. You put in a lot of work outside of being on the playing field.”
Kris Frost, Flight Management major and Auburn football player -
“I think that I will be able to translate everything that I have learned here into every employment opportunity that I will have in the future.”
Juan Castano, Class of 2014, Finance -
“The college’s mentorship program paired me with a great mentor in the financial industry who has provided invaluable advice to me as I’ve prepared to enter the working world.”
Paige Lenssen, Class of 2014 -
“The Harbert College of Business has been indispensable for me as I prepare for my career. Probably the best opportunity I’ve had as a student was being chosen to go on the Tigers on Wall Street trip …”

“Many of the marketing classes that I took at Auburn helped me prepare for this internship. Specifically, the personal selling class I took this past semester taught me the principles of business that I use every day at ESPN.”
Ben May, ESPN Intern 2013 -
“The internship has been the best work experience I have had so far in my college education. One thing that Dr. Keel stressed a lot in her class was if you are going to do something for a customer make sure it is correct. I was able to use knowledge from Dr. Keel’s class to make sure that my information was accurate and easy to understand.” [Dr. Keel teaches internet marketing.]
Maggie Rowland, Auburn Office of Communications and Marketing Intern 2013 -
"I wanted to let you know that I loved the Auburn MAc program. The distance program gave me the flexibility to continue with my current employment and allow me to have time with my family. I believe that Auburn is on the leading edge of what will be the university experience for many more people in the future. I had never been to Alabama until I attended the on campus residency last spring. It was a great experience to be on campus and made me feel a real part of the school. Thank you for all of your hard work and for allowing me to become part of the Auburn family. War Eagle!"
