Warhawk Weekly 10–15: Laughter is the best medicine; Naturalistic Classrooms

NEWS

Southern novelist and columnist Sean Dietrich captivated students, faculty, staff and campus visitors with his southern wit and experiences of living in the South during his visit to AUM Monday.

AUM Professor Shelly Bowden is using her years as an experienced elementary school teacher to instruct AUM education students on how to become good teachers and she is researching the concept of naturalistic classroom environments as a teaching model to pass along to her students.

Learn more about Bowden’s work at AUM in a Montgomery Independent article written by AUM Professor of Chemistry Nick Thomas.

Considered one of Anton Chekhov’s major works, “The Seagull” is set in the Russian countryside at the end of the 19th century. It portrays a cast of characters searching for meaning – some seek love, others success, but happiness is elusive, remaining just out of reach.

“The Seagull” opens Nov. 7 and runs through Nov. 17 with performances on Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 7-9, 14 and 15-16 at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a Sunday matinee on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for general admission. Student, senior citizen, and military admission is $5. AUM students, faculty, staff, and alumni are admitted free with ID.

For more information on Theatre AUM’s productions, please email Katie Pearson or call 334-244-3632.

Friday, Feb. 14 is AUM’s annual Day of Giving, which is a special 24-hour social media driving fundraising event for alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the university.

To prepare for this inspiring day, the Office of University Development is looking for AUMazing projects to highlight! This can be your favorite Warhawk cause, college, or program. If any department, unit, or organization is in need of funds to help enhance a project or program, please complete the proposal form. AUM has so many exciting programs, and this is an opportunity for the Warhawk community to show how they can help AUM continue to provide students and faculty with the resources they need to excel through the power of giving.

The deadline for submissions is close of business on Friday, Oct. 25. Project managers will be notified by Tuesday, Oct. 29 if their project is selected.

For questions about Day of Giving, please email Marie Harrington in University Development or call 334-244-3596 or 334-399-4850.
