The skies over Auburn University will be a little bluer than usual Thursday. The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels will conduct two passes over campus as part of a special “Good Luck on Finals” flyover on Thursday, April 23, between 8:28 and 8:30 a.m. The demonstration, organized for the last week of class before finals, will feature Commander Lilly Montana, a 2010 Auburn graduate in political science commissioned through Naval ROTC, flying as Blue Angel No. 8. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to gather on Cater Lawn, the Green Space or Samford Lawn to view the event.
When Kaleigh Backstrom stood waiting on a veterinarian to come treat a sick calf, she wanted to know how to help. Thanks to showing cattle and pigs in 4-H, animals were a big part of her life. Now, she's working toward a career in veterinary medicine at Auburn University, so that she will have the knowledge needed to treat sick animals.
