Students honored during memorial ceremony

In memory of Eric Jaegge, Dakota Parker and Justin Latting Weimer, Auburn students and faculty, as well as friends and family gathered together in the Student Center Ballroom to celebrate the lives of the three students who’d passed during this school year. Bobby Woodard, associate provost and vice president for student affairs, opened the memorial ceremony and offered his condolences to the family and friends in attendance. “For 17 years I’ve been in this field and these ceremonies never get any better...situations like this are never easy,” Woodard said. Woodard then read the poem “The Dash” by Linda Ellis, where Ellis describes the time between birth and death as a ‘dash’, or the time that matters. “I hope you understand that here at Auburn University, the people sitting in this room are honored to be a part of your sons’ ‘dash’,” Woodard said.

The 2016 Campus Climate Survey final report was recently released, and those students that participated called for a cultural change in Auburn that provides more inclusion and sense of belonging. Julie Huff, Provost Office director of strategic initiatives and communications, said diversity is perceived differently now than it was during Auburn’s 2003 Campus Climate Survey. “I think that we as a society operationalize or we define diversity differently now,” Huff said.
