War Eagle! My name is Raya Briley, and I’m a senior in the Hospitality Event Management program with a minor in Business. I'm from Hoover, Alabama, and I’ve been fortunate enough to call Auburn my second home for the last three years. My college career began at that other school on the other side of the state (that I won't name here...) where I was studying both Dance and Event Management. When I came to visit some friends in Auburn I fell in love with the town, the people, and the hospitality program. Since transferring, I’ve gained invaluable experience through the curriculum, working at the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center, and my internship with the events team at Alys Beach, and I can't wait to see what’s next! The Hospitality Gala is always extraordinary, and I’m so excited to be a part of it this year!
