Honors College Ambassadors

Hi! My name is Meredith Almy and I am from a small town outside of Dallas, Texas! Being from out of state, I was searching for a place that felt like home, and in Auburn and the Honors College, I have found all that I was looking for and more! I was given the advice to “do anything to make the campus feel smaller,” and the Honors College provided a close-knit community of like-minded people who quickly became my friends! Not only has the Honors College helped me flourish academically, but it has introduced me to new passions that have opened doors to so many new friends and memories! Through the Honors College, I have been able to travel to Costa Rica to assist in small animal surgery, have begun my own pharmaceutical research project, and have presented posters, written publications, and even spoke at a seminar in Canada! The Honors College is truly a gift, and I can’t wait to share with you all that it has to offer!     

Outside of Honors, I am involved with the Auburn String Orchestra, Auburn Catholic Campus Ministry, Tri Delta, and Pre-Veterinary Medical Association.

As a member of a military family with parents from upstate New York, I did not grow up saying “War Eagle.” However, when it came time to apply to college, after visiting Cater Hall and speaking with Honors students and staff, the opportunity to be involved with the Honors College at Auburn University became a huge part of my decision to attend this school. As a student, the Honors College has provided me with some of my most outstanding college memories thus far. Traveling for the first time to new parts of the world in my Honors Study and Travel classes and building houses with Habitat for Humanity on Honors Spring Break service trips have given me special opportunities to grow as a student, leader, and person in countless ways. The Honors College has also greatly defined my sense of community at Auburn through the friendships I have developed both in Honors classes and as a leader within the Honors Congress. I am so grateful to have the privilege of introducing new students and families to the countless benefits that come with “Honoring your Dreams” at Auburn University!

Hi there! I'm Wesley Anne, and I was born and raised in Auburn. I always looked forward to attending a school I already loved so much and am grateful I get to share that excitement with others as an Honors Ambassador. The Honors College has gifted me with an incredible community that fully supports my academic and personal achievements. I have participated in Honors Study Abroad trips and am a member of Honors Serves. Outside of Honors, I am a member of a Panhellenic Sorority and Women in Business. I cannot wait to share my love of Auburn Honors College with you! War Eagle!

My name is Olivia and I am from just south of Nashville, TN! I am studying Biomedical Sciences to pursue research in the healthcare industry. Outside of classes, I love to bake and read! For me, joining the Honors College was an easy decision, but I had no idea the impact it would have on my college experience. I've been able to meet so many people and form meaningful relationships with not only peers, but also mentors and professors. The Honors College here at Auburn is so special because it’s a small family inside a large student population that offers countless additional experiences and deeper relationships. I’m so excited to share my love for the Honors College with y’all!

War Eagle! My name is Madeleine Cargile and I’m a senior in the Honors College. Honors has done so much to help me find my home here at Auburn. From movie nights in our Honors freshman dorm, to participating in Week of Service, and everything in between, Honors has provided me not only academic prestige, but community. Along with Honors, I also work as an RA on campus and do research for the HEAR Lab in the Speech and Hearing Clinic. I am also a member of a sorority, Tri Sigma.

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!

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. It has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made and getting involved gives you even more opportunities. I can’t wait to meet with you and hopefully share a little bit of that experience. If you have any questions about the Honors College, Pre-Med life or Auburn in general please do not hesitate to reach out! War Eagle!!!

My name is Thomas Foster and I am from Beulah, AL. Transitioning from a rural hometown to Auburn’s campus was quite a change. I did not know it at the time, but my decision to join the Honors College made this huge university feel smaller and more approachable. Thanks to the Honors College, I have formed valuable relationships with both my peers and professors. Additionally, the Honors College has provided me with smaller class sizes and access to various organizations that have enhanced the sense of community that I deeply cherish. Outside of Honors, I love being involved at my church, participating in intramural sports, and playing disc golf! War Eagle!!

War Eagle! My name is Carson Kim, and I am from Gardendale, AL. In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing music, and hanging out with friends. Making the shift from high school to college can be an extremely scary and stressful time. However, the Auburn Family and the Honors College have made this transition a terrifically enjoyable one. With Auburn being as diverse as it is, there is a close-knit and inclusive community for all. The Honors College has helped me find these communities for me to plug into including Honors Serves, Honors Congress, Student Recruiters, COSAM Leaders, the Pre-Dental Association, and Auburn Tooth Fairy. Not to mention the incredible academic opportunities the Honors College offers! War Eagle!

My name is Bianca and I am from Madison, AL. I love everything outdoors, and in my free time, you can find me working out at the Rec, or going on a walk around campus with friends. Transitioning into college can be a daunting change, but the Honors College at Auburn helped make our beautiful campus feel like home. Through the Honors College, I connected with awesome organizations such as the Campus Kitchen, and I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people who would become my best friends. The academic challenge provided by taking honors courses, alongside the personable smaller class sizes strengthed me as a student and aided my success freshman year. From the events put on throughout the year to the countless resources provided, Honors College does a great job of making Auburn feel like home!

Hi everyone! My name is Ellie Morgan, and I am so excited and grateful to serve as an Honors Ambassador! I first got involved with Honors by living in the Honors dorm in the Quad my Freshman year. Having this community at my doorstep made my transition to college so much easier. Since then, I have become an Honors Mentor, Peer Instructor, and currently serve as the Vice President of Honors Congress. Each of these opportunities have allowed me to learn, grow, and connect with the Honors community surrounding me. Joining the Honors College was absolutely the best decision I made in coming to Auburn, and it has shaped my college experience in the most fulfilling way. Outside of Honors, I enjoy playing intramural sports, cooking, traveling, and being a Diamond Doll for Auburn’s Baseball team. War Eagle!
