Student Organizations

The success of the Honors College goes beyond having specialized Honors courses to take. It is a community that relies on fostering and strengthening ties by positioning its students to lead. This is especially true for our student organization housed within the Honors College - Honors Congress. 

Honors Congress

Honors Congress is a great way to dive into the Honors community. With five different committees, our organization encourages students with any and all interests to get involved through academics, athletics, service, inclusion, facilitation, creativity, and leadership opportunities. Honors Congress is open to all Honors students. If you would like to learn more about how to get involved with Honors Congress, please visit their AUInvolve page.

LEAD Honors Peer Mentorship Program

The Honors Peer Mentorship Program is a lifeline for incoming Honors College freshmen to help ease the transition into the Honors College and university life by grouping new students with experienced upperclassmen. New students have a contact from the first day they arrive on campus to help them navigate this new step in their lives. Mentors are paired with a small group of first-year students with whom they interact throughout the summer and fall semester.

Maddie Peck Hometown: Houston, Texas

Involvement:  Pediatrics and NICU Club, Women’s Maternal Health Club, Greek life (Sorority), and Greek Sing Director

Interests/Hobbies:  Health/Wellness, Dance, Reading, Music, and Volunteering

Favorite Auburn Tradition: My favorite Auburn tradition is without a doubt our mascot Aubie! Whether I see him walking to class, at a sporting event, or speeding by on a golf cart, he always makes my day. The 11x National Champion is everyone’s favorite tiger, but I think I love him the most!

Why I'm Excited to be a Mentor: I am excited to share what I have learned through my first two years here at Auburn. I love to meet new people, and I am ready to answer any and all questions about class scheduling, involvement opportunities, social networking, or even just my best life advice! I am looking forward to helping freshmen adjust to this new chapter of their lives, because nothing is truly as complicated as it seems. My hope is that I can help Auburn start to feel like home for my mentees, and that they will begin to love it here just as much as I do! War Eagle!

Fun Fact:  A random detail about my life is that I work for a Princess Party Company, and my favorite character to do is Cinderella!

Involvement:  I am the Founder & President of HerMed: An Association for Women in Medicine, an assistant AU Biomechanics Research Lab, a UTA for General Microbiology Lab, and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Interests/Hobbies:  In my free time you will likely find me taking cycle classes at Pūrvelo, cooking new recipes, or going on campus walks around Auburn.
