An important message from President Gogue
To the Auburn Student Family:
This past week has been a sad one. Two members of our student family died, both as a result of automobile accidents.
For any young life to be lost is tragic, and we hope that those of you who were friends with these students will seek out our counselors in Student Counseling Services if you feel you need someone to talk to, and that you will remember these students while sending your prayers and thoughts to their families and friends back home.
It is exciting to be a college student, being away from home, and enjoying all the enthusiasm that comes with new friends and new places. But, please remember that we all care about you, as do your families and friends in your hometowns all over the country. We want you to be safe and 'think safe' at all times. You've heard it before, but it's never more important than when you are experiencing independence for the first time: don't drink and drive, never walk alone at night, don't ride with someone who has been drinking, be an example to your friends and don't encourage reckless behavior, use Tiger Transit or call a police escort if you are in a situation where you don't have a ride, report suspicious behaviors or situations, and if you are having trouble adjusting to college life, please, again, use the services of our excellent, professional counselors.
Each year we host forums or other events encouraging you to take care of yourselves and look out for those around you, hoping to avoid tragedy. Meanwhile, our Dean of Students office and student government association will be hosting student safety forums or other activities, and I encourage you to participate. You may be part of a much larger family now, but it's still a close-knit one, and we care very much about your welfare.
Sincerely,
Jay Gogue
President

Every year thousands of students use Student Counseling Services (SCS) for career planning, to attend an outreach event, or to utilize counseling services. We hope that our website will answer your questions about our programs and services, or provide you with useful information about concerns you might have.
