Jim’s Auburn Roots

Rebecca’s Auburn Roots
“Because both of my parents attended Auburn University, I’ve been visiting Auburn since I can remember. Growing up as a part of the Auburn Family and seeing how people connected only by the University treated each other so lovingly and with respect has always been such a rewarding experience. One could only imagine how overjoyed I was to finally attend Auburn University for graduate school. My husband and I love this community so much that we decided to stay and call Auburn home. Welcome, and War Eagle!”
Meet Carlie:
Carlie serves as Program Developer and Camp Manager for Auburn Youth Programs.
Carlie earned both her B.S. and M.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from Auburn University.

Carlie’s Auburn Roots
“My dad is an Auburn alum, and we toured campus my junior year of high school. I immediately knew I could call Auburn University my home for college, but now Auburn has become my home for good! Whether this is your first time visiting Auburn University or you have been saying War Eagle since birth, I look forward to showing you what life at Auburn is like while you’re at camp.”
Auburn Youth Programs works as a team to make Auburn your home away from home every summer at our camps. As soon as you step foot onto campus it is our privilege to get to know all of you, and we cannot wait to welcome you into the Auburn Family this summer!
If you have not had the opportunity to sign up for an AYP camp this summer it is not too late!
