Freshman Forum is comprised of approximately 50-60 appointed members of Auburn’s class of first-year students who aim to represent the interests of their peers. Over the course of the year, the group has worked to gather feedback on various topics concerning the student experience from the freshman perspective and provided this feedback to the appropriate working group within SGA, shadowed different facets of SGAʼs Cabinet and Senate to develop mentorship relationships and gain a deeper understanding of the organization’s operations and mission, and participated in personal and professional development opportunities to hone their leadership skills and values.

Mentorships can range from shadowing any of the Senate Committees, helping plan Hey Day, helping oversee the Elections processes, offering feedback on current Facilities projects, various Campus Resources, and everything in between!

Applications for Freshman Forum are currently open and will close on August 29! Applications and more information can be found at aub.ie/freshmanforum.

Auburn University’s Student Lobby Board is tasked with advocating for positive change at Auburn University, promoting governmental relations with local, state and federal representatives, and coming together to better educate each other on the issues facing our city, state and nation today.

Our goals for the upcoming year are to get more feedback from students on issues they face at Auburn and changes they wish to see made, build strong relationships with our representatives, and better engage and educate the student body on how these issues affect them personally.

Responsibilities for Lobby Board include:

• Researching policies and educating Lobby Board and the entire student body on how these issues affect them.
• Supporting External Affairs throughout the year with any events such as Capitol on the Plains, Voter registration drives, etc.
• Attend and recruit for Higher Education Day
• Participate in all Lobby Days

Applications for Lobby Board are currently open and will close on August 29. Applications and more information can be found at aub.ie/sgalobbyboard.
