Pete Davidson is coming to campus for Welcome Week

Pete Davidson, comedian known for his work on Saturday Night Live, will be speaking on campus during Welcome Week.

The event will be held in the Auburn University Student Center Ballroom on Aug. 23, at 6 p.m. University Program Council will be hosting Davidson's Tiger Talk. His session will focus on mental health issues followed with a question and answer session.

"Mental health and mental health awareness have been a widely discussed topic in America over the past few years, and Pete Davidson has a unique way of expressing his condition through comedy that we think will resonate with college students," said Caroline Scott, director of major entertainment for UPC.

"We always discuss names as a team, but when Pete’s name was brought up, it was a unanimous yes from everyone at the table," Scott said.
