Alumni Hospitality Tent
Want a lasting, hassle-free tailgating spot that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? You got it: the Alumni Hospitality Tent on home game days. Admission is FREE for Auburn Alumni Association members. For as little as $45 a year, you can avoid packing a lunch, lugging a cooler and finding a shady spot to sit. We provide food, entertainment and special guests (think Aubie!). Best of all, we take care of the clean-up! The Alumni Hospitality Tent is located west of Jordan-Hare Stadium on the Wallace Center lawn. For more information visit http://www.aualum.org/alumni/tent.html
Exclusive Member Tailgates
This Fall, Alumni Association Members can enjoy their own personal tailgate on the Wallace Center Lawn next to the Alumni Hospitality Tent without the worries of setting up or taking down a tent. Come enjoy the luxury of a private tailgate setup at our Exclusive Member Tailgates! Tents are available for $325 per game. This exclusive opportunity includes a 10'x10' tent, Two 6 foot banquet tables, Navy table linens, 10 chairs, One 40-pound bag of ice with cooler, and options for 4 catering menus.
Alumni Continuing Education Opportunity
This program offers a unique opportunity to join an "intergenerational conversation" between continuing education alumni and today's Auburn students on the most crucial political issues concerning Alabama, the United States, and the entire world community. Alumni will be able to audit the online course "Global Politics and Issues, POLI 1050" presented by the Alma Holladay Professor of Political Science, Dr. Ted Becker. Dr. Becker, who has authored 14 books, is a former recipient of the Undergraduate Teaching Excellence Award presented each year by the Auburn Alumni Association. Alumni participants in this class will be able to watch live lectures in real time via streaming video, which will also be archived so it can be accessed by auditors any time. Since the auditors will be "virtual college students at Auburn," they will be using the same Blackboard online educational system today's Auburn student body uses. This will permit participants to have live electronic discussions about the required readings with an actual honors section, an online section of today's Auburn undergraduates, and the professor, any time, day or night.
