The Student Government Association will be hosting Better Relations Days with the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia over the coming weeks.
Alabama’s Better Relations Day will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 25 and Georgia’s will be held on Friday, Nov. 11.
EVP of Programs Hunter Gibson said while Auburn’s SGA does not yet know for sure what the other universities have planned for the event, SGA expects a productive year.
“The University of Alabama and the University of Georgia will both be hosting Better Relation’s Day this year so we are still unsure on the specifics of what is planned," Gibson said. "As we do each year, it will be a day full of collaboration and idea exchange among student leaders at both schools.”
Gibson said the Better Relations Days are both a chance to make new connections, as well as hear about the good things happening at other universities.
“We will get the opportunity to share things that Auburn does really well and also learn from the schools about new ideas and initiatives that we may not already have," Gibson said.
The event will not be limited to SGA members, but will be an opportunity for organizations all across Auburn’s campus to share ideas with these other schools, Gibson said.
“There is a wide variety of organizations that will be represented at Better Relation’s Day,” Gibson said. “We will have representatives from SGA but also many other groups on campus.”
Auburn and Alabama have held Better Relations Days since 1948.
Gibson said the events helped implement some major changes at both schools.
“As a result of us sharing some of Auburn’s strongest programs and initiatives, Alabama has actually created their own form of Hey Day and gained insight for developing a student feedback system modeled after Auburn Answers,” Gibson said.
