"We would be remiss if we did not take this opportunity to initiate a constructive dialogue about diversity and inclusion," Gogue wrote. "I believe we must constantly ask ourselves if we as a campus community are living the core values we espouse and whether our culture as a place for learning is one that is built on mutual respect and support."

Man’s best friend joins counseling services

He’ll lie at someone’s feet if he senses anger or rest his head in someone’s lap and offer a paw if he sees tears, but he also knows to give people space when they need it. Moose, a 7-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, works as a full-time therapy dog alongside his principal handler Katherine Werner, licensed staff psychologist, at the University’s Student Counseling Services. Moose served as a bomb detection dog with Auburn University Canine Performance Sciences until he retired in May, Werner said.
