Our Mission and Upcoming Courses

Human Resource Development (HRD) wants our Auburn employees to be INVOLVED in their career progression, LEARN from and with peers, and GROW personally and professionally. This mission brings all of us into direct alignment with Auburn’s Strategic Plan:

  • To have an elevated Auburn experience (AU Strategic Plan Goal #1)

  • To have an exceptional and engaged faculty and staff (AU Strategic Plan Goal #4)

  • To achieve operational excellence (AU Strategic Plan Goal #6)

Be INVOLVED in your career progression

We want each employee to have the ability to perform the tasks required to do the job and have the right skill-set to be successful in that job. Skills include University Systems, Info Tech, Compliance Regulations, Campus Administration, Human Resources, and University Research.

LEARN from and with peers

We want each employee to build and maintain collaborative relationships to work effectively toward common goals, while strengthening the skills required to appreciate diverse viewpoints and shared responsibilities. Skills include Teamwork, Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

GROW personally and professionally

We want each employee to develop themselves and their career through continual personal and professional learning, awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses, navigating career opportunities and networking to build relationships.
