AULAP LA of the Month
November LA of the Month: Kaitlyn Childress
The AULAP is excited to announce our November LA of the Month: Kaitlyn Childress! Kaitlyn is a junior majoring in biomedical sciences on the pre-dental track, and is an LA for Dr. Crisostomo’s Survey of Chemistry I (CHEM 1010). She hopes to attend dental school and become an orthodontist! Kaitlyn was introduced to the AULAP as a freshman during her General Chemistry I class where she only had one LA in her class. She saw a flyer on campus about becoming an LA, and since she greatly enjoys chemistry, she decided to apply! She then went on to become an LA the next semester, and she has been a chemistry LA ever since her second semester freshman year!
October LA of the Month: Will Beams
The AULAP is also delighted to feature our October LA of the Month: Will Beams! Will is from Opelika Alabama and is an LA for Mrs. Heather Haskell’s Statistics for Biological and Health Sciences Class (STAT 2510). He knew that he always wanted to do something medical, so he went with the pre-med Biomedical Science major. Will is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) fraternity here on campus, he loves sports, hanging out with his friends, and working with kids, which plays in with his career aspirations of wanting to go into pediatrics.
September LA of the Month: Evelyn Iturralde
Our September newsletter spotlight for the LA of the Month is Evelyn Iturralde! Evelyn is a junior from Texas majoring in biomedical sciences on the pre-med track with a business minor. A learning assistant for Dr. Zhong’s Principles of Biology class, Evelyn has been a learning assistant for four semesters beginning her freshman year of college, and we are delighted to feature her and acknowledge her hard work!

April LA of the Month: Kaitlyn Linehan
A freshman during COVID, Kaitlyn Linehan had limited exposure to Learning Assistants outside of Zoom classes. Entering sophomore year during her organic chemistry class, the nutritional science major was introduced to the in-class LA benefits- an experience that would inspire her to become an LA herself and whose work we are honored to feature in our LA of the Month Spotlight.

March LA of the Month: Katie Marlow
Katie Marlow, a Junior here at Auburn studying genetics, was first exposed to the Learning Assistant program during her sophomore year microbiology class. She reached out to an LA named Riley, emailing her on the first day of class. After visiting Riley’s office hours regularly throughout the semester, Katie’s success in the course inspired her to become an LA herself. She now works with Dr. Mehari and her hard work has not gone unnoticed; it is with great pride we recognize Katie as March’s LA of the month.
February LA of the Month: Cullen Mills
In addition to our faculty spotlight, AULAP would like to recognize the work of our outstanding student Learning Assistants. This month, we had the honor of talking with Cullen Mills, a chemistry LA highly regarded among students and professors alike.
