Bobby Woodard, senior vice president of student affairs, commented on what an honor it was for all the students to be at the ceremony.

“You all do this on full loads, in engineering or business or human sciences, education or whatever,” Woodard said. “Auburn is not an easy school, yet you all do this very well, and I applaud you on that.” 

Throughout the night, guests enjoyed a meal provided by Tiger Dining and mingled with their fellow attendees. Laughter and cheerful conversations filled the room as everyone celebrated each other. Woodard made sure to highlight the high-spirited atmosphere during his speech. 

“Why is Auburn so great?" Woodard said. "It’s great because of you sitting in this room."

Five judges were responsible for choosing the winners: Dane Block, Corey Edwards, Jaime Miller, Mike Stover and Crystal Garcia.

The involvement awards could not be put together without months of hard work from students and faculty, said Corey Edwards, director of student involvement.

“It’s been an all-hands-on-deck effort with about 22 people who have been involved with anything from getting nominations, selecting judges, planning the evening, video and production," Edwards said. "Several months have gone into this."

Making sure students feel appreciated for the work they do is something that is important to Auburn faculty, Edwards said.

“Obviously, students are here for academics first, but there’s a lot of learning that goes on outside of the classroom,” Edwards said. “It’s good just to celebrate all of the great accomplishments and awards of individuals and organizations.”
