Auburn University at Montgomery honors Warhawk Spirit Award winners

Auburn University at Montgomery | Montgomery, Ala. (Oct.22, 2018) — Four Auburn University at Montgomery employees earned Warhawk Spirit Awards as exemplars of the university’s core values.

Associate Provost for Enrollment Management Sameer Pande, Institutional Research Officer Jessica Carroll, Senior Financial Associate Ashley Brewer and Department of Psychology Administrative Associate Tonya Sexton were honored by AUM Chancellor Carl A. Stockton during the university’s fall convocation on October 19.

“These individuals represent the best that the Auburn University at Montgomery has to offer when it comes to serving students and converting the university’s mission into action,” Stockton said. “They serve as examples of what it means to live our core values of promoting a student-centered experience, citizenship and community engagement, lifelong learning, collaboration, diversity and inclusiveness, excellence and constant improvement. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of my role as chancellor is being able to recognize outstanding faculty and staff contributors through the Warhawk Spirit Awards.”

Brewer earned a Warhawk Spirit Award through her ability to “provide excellent customer service” and a demonstrated desire “to help campus constituents achieve desired outcomes.” Stockton noted that Brewer frequently volunteers to assist at orientation and numerous other campus events.
