In the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, we are committed to providing impactful experiences for our students to apply their classroom learning. Undergraduate research participation allows students to explore and apply engineering principles more deeply, teaching them valuable skills in time management, communication, teamwork and public speaking.

However, financials are a common barrier to involvement in undergraduate research, and many students have to take on part-time jobs. This Tiger Giving Day, we are raising $15,000 to support the college’s "High Impact Student Experience" fund, specifically for undergraduate research fellowship awards.

These research awards help recruit and reward students in undergraduate research positions and reinforce classroom learning, as well as contribute to post-graduation success.

On average, students with high-impact experiences are 16% more likely to secure employment or graduate school admission within six months after graduation.

With your gift this Tiger Giving Day, we can continue to support more students through undergraduate research fellowships and provide them with enriching opportunities.

The Harris Early Learning Center is celebrating 30 years as a leader in early childhood education. As we mark this anniversary, the center is in need of essential updates and repairs to playground areas, classrooms and the main kitchen area to continue providing quality education and support to young children over the next 30 years.

This Tiger Giving Day, help the Harris Early Learning Center reach a goal of $10,000 to continue providing outstanding early childhood education in Birmingham and invaluable professional development opportunities for the next generation of early childhood educators.

Every dollar contributed will be matched 1:1 during Tiger Giving Day by the Alabama Power Foundation.

Located in Birmingham, Alabama, the center serves approximately 200 children — ranging in age from six weeks to five years old — and is the second largest early child development center in the state of Alabama accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

The Harris Early Learning Center is more than a center for early education. It also provides hands-on experience and training for students from Auburn University, UAB, Jefferson State, Wallace State and other educational institutions.

Help support the next generation of early childhood educators!

Thank you and War Eagle!

The best way to prepare students for their future careers is through hands-on, experiential learning, where students apply what they learn in real-world scenarios.

For this reason, the Department of Marketing at the Harbert College of Business is raising $25,000 to provide students with exceptional out-of-the-classroom learning experiences.

Your gift will cover essential costs such as student travel, accommodations, meals, registration fees, and other related expenses, significantly easing their financial burden.

Each year, approximately 6,000 students, including many non-marketing majors, enroll in our marketing courses, demonstrating the widespread impact of our programs across the entire campus.

This year we’ve implemented advanced Salesforce training and participated in sales competitions and national case competitions across the country to provide our students invaluable experience that sets them apart in the job market.

These activities aren't just educational exercises — they are transformative experiences that build critical thinking, communication skills, and confidence. Our students leave these experiences not only with enhanced skills but also with job interviews, offers, and a renewed sense of purpose and direction in their careers.

Together, we can make a difference. Donate today and help us shape the future of marketing education.

This Tiger Giving Day, the Learners Exploring Academic Dreams (LEAD) initiative through Auburn’s Truman Pierce Institute in the College of Education is raising $20,000 to provide 30 students (rising 9th - 12th graders) with a unique weeklong summer camp learning opportunity on Auburn University's campus.

Through the camp, students who might not otherwise have a chance to experience all Auburn offers will explore the university while developing the skills they need to be admitted and successful in their college career and beyond.

The camp provides students from partnering schools — including Loachapoka, Notasulga and LaFayette High School — an opportunity to experience academic programs through hands-on activities with campus partners in the week-long residency program.

Program content includes social activities, creative writing opportunities, team-building sessions, art exploration, enhancement of computer skills, campus tours, practice test-taking sessions, study skills development, and meetings with admissions, financial aid, student activities, and other key campus programs.

Gifts received beyond our goal will further grow the number of students who can attend in the future, as we aim to sustain this program for years to come.

Give today to the LEAD Summer Camp project and help open the doors of opportunity to others in fulfillment of the College of Education’s mission of building a better future for all.

Housed in the Office of Accessibility, SKILL serves students with learning differences such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dysgraphia, depression and anxiety. These students pursue traditional degrees through rigorous coursework, often facing added cognitive and emotional demands — and yet, they continue to rise to the challenge.

The SKILL Academic Coaching program is raising $10,000 to offer fee waivers that expand access to one of Auburn’s most impactful academic support programs.

Your gift will help provide access to individualized academic coaching and mentorship for students whose circumstances might otherwise prevent participation.

Auburn’s legacy is built by those who dare to reach higher — and by the systems that empower them to succeed. When you invest in SKILL, you are investing in the human touch and the people who will carry Auburn’s name — and its reputation for greatness — into the future.

The Auburn University Rowing Club is a student-led organization that provides an opportunity to connect with others through rowing. We welcome both novice and experienced rowers, giving everyone a chance to develop skills and engage in a sport that builds strength in teamwork and communication.

This Tiger Giving Day, the Auburn Rowing Club is raising $2,000 for new sculling oars.

Sculling is a method where each rower uses two oars, which allows for greater precision and control, and enables rowers to develop more advanced techniques and improve their overall performance.

Adding sculling oars will significantly enhance our competitiveness and help us attract a wider variety of rowers, including those aiming to train for competitive success.

The oars will not only elevate our club's skill level, they will also enable our members to explore different rowing disciplines and find the one that best suits their interests and abilities.

Give today and help our organization grow! Oar Eagle!

The Auburn Meat Judging Team allows students to learn about and prepare for the animal and meat industry while competing against other schools across the country. These students are the future of providing safe, high-quality protein to the public, and they learn to do so in a fun and competitive environment.

The College of Agriculture is raising $10,000 for the personal protection equipment (PPE) needed for the competition and access to a wider variety of protein and cuts to study and practice judging in person.

Meat judging competitions gather teams to judge cuts of beef, pork, and lamb and evaluate them for traits affecting quality, taste, marbling, cutability, and yield. Teams then defend their judgments through written evaluations. The process not only teaches them about meat but also helps them learn to be productive members of the workforce, make quick decisions, write clearly and effectively, and defend their decisions with fact-based evidence.

Your support of this program will allow students to participate in competitions around the country and tour processing plants and agricultural facilities, helping them gain industry experience and be better prepared to enter the workforce — ensuring safe, healthy, and quality protein for us all.

The Harrison College of Pharmacy is raising $20,000 to support the War Eagle Wellness Clinic, a student-run free clinic housed within Auburn's Boykin Community Center that provides medical care and pharmacy services for patients in the Auburn-Opelika community.

Your support will enable us to purchase patient care supplies and other resources needed to grow the care and services offered by the War Eagle Wellness Clinic.

As part of the Auburn University Health Care and Education Clinic, the free, student-run clinic supports the health and wellbeing of the community while allowing pharmacy students to collaborate with their peers from the Auburn College of Nursing and the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The goal for the clinic is to enhance the health and wellbeing of the Auburn-Opelika community while providing a meaningful service-learning experience for pharmacy and other health profession students.

Students will provide authentic care to a wide variety of patients and will be able to practice under collaborative protocols while increasing their awareness of the importance of outreach, service, and advocacy.

Please give today and make a difference in our community!

Soaring over Jordan-Hare Stadium before every home football game, Auburn's resident eagles are powerful reminders of the importance of conservation. Every eagle — and dozens of owls, vultures, hawks, and other raptors — were all once injured in the wild with a limited chance of survival. Thanks to the Auburn University Raptor Center (AURC), they were rescued and rehabilitated.

This Tiger Giving Day, the AURC is raising $30,000 to fund state-of-the-art intensive care units (ICUs) to provide lifesaving care for injured and ill raptors.

And, thanks to a generous donor, your gift will be doubled this Tiger Giving Day with a one-to-one match — up to $30,000.

By enabling our clinical team to remotely and closely monitor patients, the ICUs would help minimize stress — a crucial factor in avian recovery. The AURC Rehabilitation Unit admits approximately 250 raptors annually, and these specialized units are essential for supporting both critically ill patients and those recovering from surgery.

Additionally, these units regulate temperature, humidity, and oxygen flow to create an optimal environment for faster recovery, positively impacting survival outcomes for our most vulnerable patients.

Help us care for more injured raptors — one of them might fly over your next football game!

At the heart of Crooked Oaks in Notasulga, Alabama lies a living treasure that reflects the passion, patience and legacy of one of Auburn’s most beloved figures — Coach Pat Dye’s Japanese Maple nursery.

What began as a personal hobby evolved into a breathtaking collection of more than 200 varieties of Japanese Maples, each one planted, nurtured and hand-selected by Coach Dye himself. Following his passing in 2020, the nursery’s infrastructure deteriorated and its tree stock dwindled.

The College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment (CFWE) acquired Crooked Oaks in 2023 and is raising $25,000 to restore, revitalize and expand the nursery to be a celebrated feature of Crooked Oaks for years to come. Thanks to the You Might Be for Auburn Foundation, your gift will be doubled with a one-to-one match this Tiger Giving Day.

The funds raised will support the ongoing conservation and care of the existing tree stock, as well as rebuilding the nursery infrastructure to optimize space and accessibility; installing new irrigation and drainage systems; sourcing high-quality grafting supplies, gardening tools and soils; and refurbishing the greenhouse.

The result of a successful campaign will be a greater stock of Japanese Maples for sale — the revenue from which helps support the care and maintenance of Crooked Oaks — providing a better visitor experience and enabling more opportunities for CFWE experiential educational programming for students.

Coach Dye poured the same care into the nursery that he did into mentoring young athletes — nurturing growth and shaping character, with a vision for the future. Your support will help Auburn University keep this living legacy rooted and growing.

Eventing is a triathlon equestrian sport consisting of dressage, cross country, and showjumping. Of the 30 universities that comprise the United States Eventing Association Intercollegiate program, Auburn is known to have the best three-day team, winning four of the previous eight intercollegiate championships held.

But eventing is a high-risk sport where falls are often unavoidable and could lead to severe, life-threatening injuries. This Tiger Giving Day, the Eventing Club is raising $10,000 to provide our student athletes with AirVests, a safety technology they can wear during training and competition rides.

When a rider and horse separate, the AirVest inflates within one-tenth of a second. It absorbs shock and distributes impact to support the spinal column, protect collarbones, ribs, coccyx, and internal organs.

Equipping riders with these vests would be directly contributing to increased physical safety during training and competition rides, as well as reduced injury severity from debilitating or life-threatening injuries.

Supporting this initiative is an investment in the future of Auburn's equestrian sports and ensures the health of the next generation of athletes. Please give today!

Auburn's Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is home to a service-driven campus community committed to providing valuable resources, advocacy and outreach to military-affiliated students and the Auburn family.

This Tiger Giving Day, our goal is to raise $20,000 for the Rucksacks to Backpacks program — so that no student veteran has to worry about how they’ll pay for class materials.

Rucksacks to Backpacks provides military-affiliated students with items like laptops, textbooks and other critical resources needed to succeed in higher education.

The Auburn Student Veterans Association (ASVA) and the VRC work together to provide student veterans and military-affiliated students with resources to support the body, mind and spirit.

As Auburn’s Creed highlights the importance of freedom and serving our country, our organization looks to give back to those who served in the Armed Forces.

Auburn’s enrollment of military-affiliated students has increased significantly this year, and programs like Rucksacks to Backpacks will have a positive impact for years to come.

Help us serve those who serve our country!
