Bullock & Macon County Youth Visit Auburn Campus | |
|
On Wednesday October 26, 2022 students from Bullock County and Macon County Career Tech Centers visited the Auburn University campus. Students represented Bullock County High School, and Booker T. Washington High School. This campus career visit was part of the Auburn University Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant through Center for Educational Outreach & Engagement (CEOE) and Auburn University Outreach. Through this grant, the Auburn University Success Plus Program (AUSPP) was formed, providing supplemental programs for Bullock and Macon County students.
On this Healthcare & Medical Science Campus Career Visit, students learned about the field of medicine and were able to tour the AU Medical Clinic facility as led by AU Medical professionals including a marketing specialist and a lead physician. Students learned about the over 100 employee positions just in the AU Medical Clinic alone, participated in a Q&A session with key personnel, and explored the vast opportunities available through the health care system.
On this Academic Learning Campus Career Visit, students also visited the Ralph Brown Draughon Library at Auburn University. This campus visit was part of the Auburn University WIOA grant and AUSPP program. Students learned about the university library and all aspects, levels, academics, information, and research opportunities that are available in the library and for students. They also learned about the availability of personnel to assist at the library, academic tutors, library hours, and the facility operations itself. Students were led by one of the Auburn University Libraries staff, that offered vast knowledge and insight into the learning facility and environment.

Auburn University (AU) Outreach Global Office (OGO) presented its premier OGO Fulbright in the Classroom programs to two high schools: Valley and LaFayette high schools in Alabama on November 3, 2022. These collaborative programs were led by Elizabeth I. Quansah, director, of AU Outreach Global office in conjunction with the AU FIC grant recipient Leslie A. Cordie, associate professor and Fulbright Core Scholar 2020-21, Jason Bryant, associate clinical professor, and director, Truman Pierce Institute, Venus Hewing, manager, Center for Education Outreach & Engagement (CEOE), Chippewa Thomas, director, Faculty Engagement and the president of the Alabama Fulbright Association chapter and Mac-Jane Crayton, graduate assistant, AU Outreach Global office.
For the AU Outreach Global Office, FIC is an opportunity for past and current Fulbrighters to share their Fulbright experience with K-12 through-college students in low-income communities in Alabama. By sharing their stories, FIC introduces students to new places, cultures and people. Our goal is to inspire these students to learn more about global engagement, to travel and have fun while doing these activities with us. During the two programs, students heard presentations from AU instructors and then participated in a mini trade fair that showcased garments, arts and crafts, clothing and accessories from across Africa, Asia and Europe.

Thank you to all that attended the latest Outreach retreat –
The stories we tell and ways to tell it!
December Communication Tip:
Some notes for AP Style/submitting articles for Beyond Auburn
1. We only refer to medical doctors/pharmacists as Dr. in articles.
2. Do not capitalize job titles.
3. Avoid writing in first person (I, we, our).
Third person is preferred (he, she, it they, him her, them)
4. After a person’s full name has been stated in an article,
use only last name to refer to him/her subsequently.
