A message from the Assistant Provost

Auburn’s long-standing tradition of service sets us apart from other universities. As a land-grant institution, Auburn has a unique charge: to take the knowledge and research gained inside the classroom out into the world to benefit the people. This mission of service informs everything we do.
From the affordable homes built in rural Alabama by architecture students to the sustainable fishing operations developed by faculty in Uganda, the results of this commitment are tangible, helping to solve real-world problems on an international scale. The Office of International Programs is proud to foster and support Auburn’s continued globalization in the classroom and in the community.

Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Gillespie

In 2012, Auburn will celebrate the cultures and contributions of East Asian nations through the Year of East Asia program. Students, faculty/staff and the local community are invited to learn more about this important region through films, lectures, workshops and more.
