Glassford Named First Tim Cook Leadership Scholar
Mark Glassford, a junior in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, has been named the
first Tim Cook Leadership Scholar. The scholarship was founded by Auburn ISE alumnus Tim Cook, chief
operating officer of Apple Computer. The scholarship recognizes industrial and systems engineering
students with significant academic achievements, strong evidence of non-academic university
involvement and leadership, and strong evidence of community involvement and commitment. Glassford
is originally from the Birmingham area.
"During my time at Auburn, I have gained many leadership skills, including those in planning,
organization, and communication." Glassford says. "I have experienced and learned what it takes to be a
leader in a real-world working environment."
Glassford is co-op student who just finished his first rotation with Tubular Products in Birmingham. On
campus, he is involved with the Auburn University Impact program and works primarily with the East
Alabama Food Bank, where his duties include separating and organizing foods and other goods,
cleaning, and making food bundles for area families. He received the fall 2005 Outstanding Impact
Member of the Semester Award.
"Academic success is merely the window leading into other areas, such as volunteering and community
service," Glassford says. "I have seen that a student's time in college can be also used to enrich the lives
of others. I know that these experiences and the experiences of those I am close to will continue to drive
me to help others."
