Auburn University President's Office

Jay Gogue
Dear Auburn Family,

It is an extraordinary honor to have been selected as the 18th president of Auburn University. Susie and I are excited about returning to Auburn and working more closely with the AU family.

One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked lately is, “What were the major factors in your decision to take the job?”

Susie and I have two degrees each from Auburn, and our daughter has a master’s degree from here. Auburn is, and always has been, a special place in our hearts. So when the opportunity to return as president arose, I knew that if the people at Auburn thought I was a good fit for the job, we wanted to come back.

Each member of the Auburn family has a passion for their university. They love and believe in this institution. We look forward to joining alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of AU to build on past successes, define new opportunities and elevate Auburn to its place among the nation’s top-tier universities.

War Eagle!
Jay Gogue
