The College of Liberal arts hosted a free breakfast on Monday, Nov. 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m at Tichenor Hall in the Dean’s Conference Room.
The Dean’s office and SGA representatives were at the breakfast to answer any questions students may have about the College of Liberal Arts, and Chick-fil-A breakfast and Krispy Kreme donuts were offered to guests.
The event was planned by the Vice President of Liberal Arts Schools Council Ken Ward.
Alex Patrick, junior in economics, said Ward worked with the Dean’s staff on the project for about three weeks.
“His office is very helpful and easy to understand,” Patrick said.
Jacqueline Keck, junior in economincs and SGA president pro tempore, said she was proud with the result of Ward's work.
“He [Ward] planned all of it and we are so thankful for that," Keck said. "He really fulfilled his role as vice president."
Keck said the event went well and saw a variety of students attending.
“We got to have conversations with them and talk about where they’re from and what they’re major is and what they want to do,” Keck said. “We had a student from Thailand come in that was a computer science engineer who went through Auburn Global to be acclimated to Auburn."
The event served as an opportunity for students within the college to meet and share their ideas with other, Keck said.
"It was cool to hear him talk about it and to hear about the job opportunities that he is pursuing," Keck said. “We got to meet people that we wouldn’t have on an average day."
Keck said the goal of the breakfast was to create an opportunity for students to come by and meet SGA representatives, as well as the dean and associate dean.
“It gave them an opportunity to have a voice and to have conversations about their Auburn experience, classroom experience and what it’s like to be a student on Auburn’s campus and to voice anything they’ve seen, heard or have experienced that they’re concerned about, so we as campus leaders can really meet their needs," Keck said. "Then we can talk to administration and speak on behalf of them.”
