9 to Forever

Editorials, News, OpinionDolly Parton, opinion

AUM students shocked and saddened upon hearing about Dolly Parton's passing I was sitting in my advanced journalism writing class. At 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25 the class was in transient silence before the next presentation. Then from my left, comes a deep, almost choked-off sigh. Then a voice in shock, and in one sentence announces, “Dolly Parton has just passed away.” Then, noise. The next two minutes in the computer lab of the Liberal Arts Building become pure confusion, fingers racing across keyboards, murmurs of uncertainty, and one chorus of voices, “The Queen of country is no longer…

The 3 faces of Odysseus

Editorials, Opinionmovie review

Review: From Homer to Dante, 'The Odyssey' is now Christopher Nolan's magnum opus "A face, a fleet, a war, a man, a thought, a trick. A trick to break the walls of Troy and burn it screaming to the ground!" These opening words ignite of the most ambitious movie adaptations of the 21st century. This year's "The Odyssey", as Christopher Nolan explained to Eliana Dockterman for Time, breathes new life into a version of the hero Odysseus, preserving his Homeric complexity while making him relatable to a modern audience. Nolan's adaptation of Homer's classic Greek epic poem has been advertised…

She Started Here

Audioaudio, podcast

What happens before a story becomes important? Precisely from this thought was born "She Started Here", the podcast of TheAumnibus focused and dedicated to different women who have studied at our university who over the years, have left a mark on the world. When we think of someone famous, we only see the achievements, awards or titles earned. We rarely stop to think about the road traveled to reach what we see. We rarely look back at when our landmarks were just girls like us, with uncertainties, doubts, fears and dreams to chase. She Started Here, was born from a…

Auburn University abolishes faculty senate: possible repercussions for AUM

Campus, News, University

AUBURN, Ala. — On Friday, June 5, at Auburn University, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to abolish the University Faculty Senate, assuming direct control over degree requirements, curricula and syllabi. This independent decision comes in the context of the passage of Alabama House Bill 580, which reduces the powers of faculty senates at Alabama’s public universities while exempting Auburn University.

Opinion: Going Back Home Doesn’t Always Mean Going Back to Yourself

Opinionhome, homesick, international, life, mental, personal, traveling, well being

designed from Veli Rehanne from Canva. For those who leave and return, it feels like meeting a stranger, the person who left is no longer there and the place just another unfamiliar stop along the way. At a certain point in the life of a person who has built a reality abroad, a realization comes that is like a crash. It doesn't happen the moment she steps off the plane, or when she starts using a language she knows again; it can happen all of a sudden or grow slowly. It happened to her in a bar, one of those…

Opinion: Artificial intelligence in the newsroom: Tool or threat?

OpinionAI, AP, artificial intelligence, Associated Press, benefits, ChatGPT, jobs, journalism, Kendra Love, media, opinion, Students, study, Technology, think

Photo courtesy of Tera Windstead on Pexels.com If artificial intelligence can fully replace journalists, then journalism has already failed. AI can become an asset to newsrooms, but it cannot take on the human role without compromising the credibility on which the industry itself is based. AI is already part of the most important newsrooms. In 2014, The Associated Press introduced Automated Insights into its newsroom to produce more than 3,000 earnings reports, bringing the world of journalism into contact with that of artificial intelligence. Before the introduction of artificial support, The Associated Press was able to produce about 300 reports…

When the game becomes life: The inner battle of an athlete

Editorials, Sportseditoral, student athlete, Volleyball

Every human being in the course of his or her existence develops different “selves” that altogether make up the entire character, emotions, abilities–in short, the person himself or herself. When we begin to cultivate a passion, a side is born within us that comes out and lives independently whenever we do what we love. I love playing volleyball, and I know that I am split in half. there is one side, which is commanded by Sofia, a simple girl, who tries to survive in a demanding world of daily challenges; then there is other side, that of the Sofia athlete,…
