New to AUM? Grab a plate at the tailgate
If you’re joining us as a new student for the Fall 2024 semester, you’ll want to attend Saturday’s Kickoff to College Tailgate in the heart of campus.
Enjoy food, games and opportunities to connect with your classmates on The Quad from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Introducing STEM to young learners
Elementary school students in grades 4-6 received an introduction to magic of STEM from Computer Science and Information Systems faculty during AUM’s Robotics Week.
The students developed basic coding skills, learned the fundamentals of creating a robot and brought robotic creations to life.
Ride with Warhawk Pride
An AUM license plate is one way to show Warhawk pride, and your commitment to AUM students.
Students who purchase an AUM License Plate will receive free registration for campus parking. Faculty and staff only pay a $5 administrative fee for reserved parking when buying an AUM license plate.
Proceeds from the sale of every AUM license plate in Alabama directly funds scholarships for AUM students.
To receive recognition for your support, be sure to opt in to share your information with AUM when you register for the plate or email us at [email protected].
