NSPIRATION COMES IN MANY FORMS and from many sources. When it arrives, it might prompt you to simply appreciate the moment—it could spark creativity or provide an opportunity for reflection. Auburn alumni are a constant source of inspiration to me. When I hear their stories and how they are using their Auburn degrees to improve our world, I am inspired to work harder for them and our alma mater.

During Women’s History Month, I was inspired by the outstanding presenters in the association’s inaugural Women’s Summit. More than 560 participants joined this exciting webinar to learn from accomplished alumnae, friends and student leaders who covered a range of topics that touched on themes of inspiration, leadership and empowerment. The summit also marked the foundational launch for future Women at Auburn programs, which will be designed to engage and connect Auburn’s 112,000 living alumnae. If you missed the summit but still want to enjoy the sessions, please visit alumni.auburn.edu/womens-initiatives.

For the past 20 years, the Auburn Alumni Association has
facilitated the Lifetime Achievement Awards. Established by the association’s board of directors in 2001 to honor extraordinary accomplishments by members of the Auburn Family, this prestigious award recognizes recipients for outstanding achievements in their professional lives, their personal integrity, their stature and
their service to the university.
