Editorial: The Purpose of Internships

Internships are preparations for the real job. The purpose of the internship is to gain experience. A lot of times “real” jobs require some type of experience as their qualifications. Some majors request an internship at Auburn University of Montgomery (AUM). Speaking from my own experience, my internship was the best job I have ever had in my life. I fully enjoyed my internship because it really has prepared me for a job. I actually got the full experience for my major/degree. Having my internship also prepped me for what attire to wear on different occasions. Every day we dress professionally, meeting days we all wear suits, and days we are off campus we dress professionally but comfortably. Once my boss figured that I was about to graduate, he wrote a recommendation letter and start ...

Auburn University of Montgomery students, it is time for you all to sign up for the Spring and Fall Semesters. You can check with your advisors or got to AUM website https://advisortrac.aum.edu/TracWeb40/Default.html to schedule an advising appointment.

“Measure for Measure” Shows Theater Excellence

Guest starring Neil David Seibel and Sarah Walker Thornton of the Actors’ Equity Association, Michael Winkelman’s production of Measure for Measure tells the story of Isabella, a chaste, young woman and devoted sister aspiring to become a nun, and Angelo, a hypocritical, unmerciful deputy of the law. We are introduced to our characters and the town of Vienna—rife with debauchery—by Duke Vincentio (David Wilson), who has decided to pose as a friar to learn what the townsfolk really think of him. In his absence, he leaves Angelo (Neil David Seibel) to enforce the law, and Angelo’s first act is to arrest Claudio (Chris Mascia) for laying with a woman before she is his wife. Claudio desperately reaches out to his sister, Isabella (Sarah Walker Thornton, to plead for his life. It is over ...

AUM Actor Spotlight: Jonathan Meinsler

Jonathan Meinsler is finishing up his time at AUM and is no stranger to the stage or backstage at Theatre AUM. Jonathan has been a part of every single show in some way since 2015. Some people find their calling or their “thing” later in life, but for Jonathan he discovered his love for theatre when he was only a child. “I remember being five, my mom and grandparents went to see Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta, they brought back the cast album and within three days I had memorized and was singing every song full out. So, I believe it has always been my calling to act and sing.” Jonathan doesn’t enjoy to perform only for his own enjoyment or for his own escape out of the world, but he also does it for the audience’s own enjoyment and happiness. “I love to transport the audience into ...

Academic Common Market: Helping College Graduates in Their Next Step

Many Auburn University at Montgomery graduating students are looking towards the next step in their education and career: graduate school; however, students may find that AUM does not have the right graduate program for them nor other universities in the state and the cost of out-of-state tuition is intimidating. That is why the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) partners with 16 Southern states through The Academic Common Market (ACM) to allow prospective graduate students “tuition-savings” opportunities to continue pursuing their life-long education along with undergraduates students as well. According to SREB, ACM allows students to enroll in out-of-state public colleges and universities “who want to pursue degrees that are not offered by their in-state institutions.” This mea...
