Marie Harris is an Environmental Science and Chemistry major minoring in Health Equity Science. She credits the AU Libraries with being an integral part of her success as a student, equipping her with space and tools to explore her learning style and own her education. She applied to the inaugural class of AUL Leadership Fellows seeking specific mentorship in the fields of non-profit and development, which can have a lot of barriers to professional entry for first-generation students like her, and she excited to have the opportunity to develop these skills within the AU Libraries setting because of the mission of the Libraries to promote access and enrich the intellectual pursuits of the whole Auburn family.
Jenny Wang is a freshman at Auburn University. She thinks that out of all the places in town, the AU Library is one of few places where she feels most at home. With its collection of great books, scholarly and otherwise, she can always find a nook or cranny to spend some alone time when she simply wants to relax or do some self-research. As an AU Library Fellow, she'd love to continue doing what she currently does, which is applying myself towards the research and study of subjects she find interesting. She is a current Economics major, though she plans to double major in the future. She will be working with the Special Collections and Archives depart.
