#WhyWeLearn
Collaborative atmosphere energizes Theatre student
AUM’s Department of Communication and Theatre offers students the opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of theatre performance and production. Recently, Theatre student Kodi Robertson described his experiences as a Theatre AUM actor – a role he particularly enjoys because of the collaboration with fellow students and professors – in an AUMnibus video produced by AUM students Deanna Chavez, Nicolette Parrish and Rachel Wallace for Assistant Professor Hilary Gamble’s Media Practicum class.
COB student clubs support autism awareness
The AUM College of Business student clubs recently helped serve crawfish and assisted with cleanup at the 13th annual Autism Crawfish Boil.
The Crawfish Boil, which was held in downtown Montgomery this year and completely volunteer based, is hosted every year by Easter Seals. All proceeds were donated to assist with autism programs provided by Easter Seals Central Alabama for families in the River Region.
Last year, the Mud Bug Ball raised more than $30,000 for autism programs. These programs include autism diagnosis, which is costly and difficult to receive in Central Alabama.

Simmons essays on Christian history published

The essays will appear in the two-volume The Christian World (2nd ed., Philip Esler, ed.) along with essays by an international team of experts in church history, historical theology, history of the Roman Empire and patristics who represent the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Brown, Oslo, Cardiff, Aarhus, London, Notre Dame, Manchester, Princeton, Yale, John Carroll, Durham, St. Andrew’s, South Africa, Columbia, Macquarie, Helsinki and several more.

Weeks of Welcome will last throughout the first few weeks of the new semester. If you are interested in having an event at Fall 2017 WOW, please fill out the online application. Fall 2017 WOW events are due by July 1, 2017.
