Sean Connolly
Major: Psychology - Pre Medical Focus
Junior
War Eagle y’all! My name is Sean Connolly and I am from a suburb just south of Houston, Texas called Pearland. I am a very active person and love doing any and every thing outdoors whether that be working out at the rec, playing lacrosse at the sportsplex, or simply walking around campus with my friends! I know college may seem daunting and scary, but trust me the Auburn Family is very a real thing and makes the transition seamless. The Honors College is my favorite thing I’ve had the privilege of getting involved in. With Auburn having such a large population, being part of such a small and intimate family such as the Honors College has proved amazing in a number of different ways.
Smaller classes have granted me the opportunity to form closer connections with my professors, advisors, and peers than I ever thought possible. Amazing organizations such as the Week of Service and Honors Congress have opened up doors to my interests and given me incredible opportunities to pursue leadership roles. Overall, I love the Honors College with every ounce of my being and joining was THE BEST decision I ever could have made! War Eagle!

James Conway

Hi my name is James Conway and I am from Opelika, about 20 minutes from campus. I am a Junior Majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I enjoy playing late-night pickleball with my friends and going to Guthrie’s after every home football game. I also love working out at the rec and anything that has to do with the outdoors. The Honors College at Auburn has opened up so many doors, including friendships, academics and even professional opportunities.

Ella Claire Interian
Major: Law and Justice, English | Minor: Technical and Professional Communication
Sophomore
War Eagle! I’m Ella Claire from Manhattan Beach, California, and I’m studying Law and Justice with plans to attend law school. While moving across the country was initially daunting, the Honors College immediately made me feel at home. The small, discussion-based classes and strong relationships with professors have been invaluable to my academic and personal growth. Through the Honors College, I’ve had incredible opportunities like engaging in undergraduate research, meeting with dedicated advisors, and am looking forward to a Honors study abroad trip to Greece. Outside of academics, I love taking hot yoga classes, volunteering with Beat Bama Food Drive, and watching Auburn sports. My Honors College experience has inspired me to grow and thrive alongside a passionate, driven community of like-minded individuals and I’m so excited to share just how much I love being part of this Auburn family!

Jessica Stanhouse
Major: Biomedical Sciences | Minor: Health and Human Development

Hi y'all! My name is Jessica Stanhouse. I am from Stone Mountain, GA (just east of Atlanta). The Honors College helped convince me to choose Auburn.

Outside of the Honors College, I serve on the executive board for Rural Heath Connect, belong to the Pre-PA club, and serve through the Campus Kitchen. I am also involved with Auburn Community Church, and am a member of my sorority (Alpha Omicron Pi). I cannot wait to get to meet you! War Eagle!
