The Children's Congress was inspired by an 8-year-old boy in 1999 and has since helped educate politicians on the need for more funding for a cure through the powerful stories of children living with type 1 diabetes. JDRF is the leading organization funding diabetes research with a goal of finding a cure.
More than 11,000 walkers are expected to participate in the JDRF Georgia Chapter's 32nd annual Atlanta Walk to Cure Diabetes on October 19th, 2013, to raise over $2 million for type 1 diabetes research. Turner Broadcasting executive John Kampfe will partner with JDRF to promote awareness and fundraising for a cure. The walk will include music, food and family activities around Centennial Olympic Park and hopes to draw supporters of all ages to help find a cure for the 3 million Americans with type 1 diabetes.
This document outlines a strategic plan for the Auburn Alumni Association's 2014 new graduate campaign. The campaign aims to increase new graduate membership and strengthen awareness of the AAA among graduating students. Key tactics include a two-week scavenger hunt on social media platforms providing membership and prizes, targeted digital advertising and content on relevant blogs and websites, and tips on Twitter about professional and life skills for new graduates. The plan details the schedule and responsibilities for rolling out these tactics from April through October 2014 to engage new graduates and help them stay connected to Auburn.
The Children's Charity provided 3000 backpacks filled with school supplies, gave 250 art scholarships, and donated 112 bikes to underprivileged children. They also funded 1 adaptive learning class, 16 pieces of special needs equipment, and 1 service dog mobility bike.
2. About the Author
Courtney Oliver
I am a senior at Auburn University majoring in public relations. Although I grew
up in Cumming, GA., I have always been a Tiger fan. As the youngest in my
family, I had a long line of Auburn alumni to live up to. My years at Auburn are
so special to me because this is where I truly found myself and my passion for
nonprofit work.
Growing up as a type 1 diabetic, my parents taught me to put all of my frustration
with my disease into something positive. My family and I started volunteering
with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and I was able to look outside
myself to get a better perspective. As a student at Auburn, I decided to focus my
studies on my love for public speaking and writing.
My involvement in my social sorority led to an officer position in which I
planned and executed fundraisers for our philanthropy Court Appointed Special
Advocates (CASA). My experience as Philanthropy Director inspired me to
pursue a career in fundraising and event-planning.
This magazine is a compilation of stories I haven written during my time at
Auburn. Through my words, I hope you can see the beauty in these plains that I
call my home.

4. Stay Connected with Auburn Clubs
Graduation is a scary
thing. Saying goodbye
to the place that has
been your home for the past
four or more years is never easy,
especially when that home has
been the loveliest
village on the
plains. However,
graduates and
soon-to-be
graduates may
not realize the
networking
opportunity that awaits them at
their next destination.
Auburn Clubs are organizations
of Auburn alumni that provide
networking opportunities and a
chance to stay connected to the
New graduates network and meet other alumni through Auburn Clubs
By Courtney Oliver
“Auburn Clubs are a great
way for young alumni to
meet and network with
existing alumni in their
new home.”
- Audrey Lowry, Auburn alumna
Auburn Family. With 92 clubs
nationwide, new graduates are
able to meet other Auburn alumni
and get involved in their new
home away from Auburn.
“After I graduated from Auburn,
I moved away for a year and I
was so lonely
and miserable,”
said Audrey
Matthews,
web design
specialist for the
Auburn Alumni
Association.
“If I had known there was an
organization of Auburn Alumni
right there, it would have
made such a difference in my
experience.”
Auburn Clubs also host events
4
5. throughout the year to engage
alumni and stay connected to
Auburn. These events include
game-watch parties during
football season, annual club
meetings and fundraisers. For
example, the Lee County Auburn
Club raises money throughout
the year for their scholarship
fund. This scholarship fund helps
to relieve the financial burden of
paying for college on Lee County
Auburn students.
Auburn clubs also stay plugged
in when it comes to Auburn
news. Several of the clubs remain
active on social media and are
good sources of information. In
addition, Auburn Clubs provide a
source for professional networking
which is beneficial to new Auburn
graduates starting the job search.
Each Auburn Club is also given
the opportunity to network with
other Auburn Clubs through
events hosted by the Auburn
Alumni Association. Friday, Feb.
8 was the 2014 Club Leadership
Conference. Club officers and
members gathered in the Alumni
Center to network and attend
informational meetings to learn
how to better promote their clubs.
Auburn Clubs give new graduates
the chance to grow their Auburn
Family tree.

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” screened at the Jule Collins Smith Museum
By Courtney Oliver

to a wheelchair unable to leave his
apartment. He chooses to pass the
time by spying on his neighbors
through his camera lens.

beverages from the museum’s café Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art
before and after the film.
“I love how the museum shows old
films like these,” said Cheyenne
Rudowski, art major at Auburn
University. “It’s cool to see how
the movie ties into art. The entire
plot of ‘Rear Window’ is based on
what a photographer does with his
camera.”

of art consisting of seven changing
galleries, an auditorium, a café,

focused look at a
single
piece of artwork and discuss it

great place to go even
if you don’t like art.
Sometimes I just sit
in the café and study
because the atmosphere
is so relaxing.”
- Cheyenne Rudowski, Auburn student
