Student Testimonial

“Throughout the pandemic, I have been thinking of what my transition to college would look like. My counselor suggested different dual enrollment programs, and Auburn was a school I had been researching and studying to further my academic career. This program prepared me to navigate the principles of transitioning from a high school curriculum to studying and learning on a different, more robust level. If I were asked if I would go back and do this again, I definitely would.”
