AUM Athletics, College of Nursing and Health Sciences to Host Blood Drive

BY: Jessica Alldredge Montgomery, Ala. – Nov. 11, 2020 – In a time where everyone needs a little help, there are a lot of ways that AUM students can provide that help. Students can find little ways to give back to the community. Sometimes that means giving of their time, and sometimes that means giving of themselves. In this case, students have a chance to give of themselves literally.  AUM provides many opportunities throughout the year for students to get involved and help out their fellow man (or woman). This includes frequent blood drives on the main campus. There will…

Creating Healthy Relationships

BY: Jessica Alldredge Montgomery, Ala. – Oct. 31, 2020 – Creating relationships as an adult can be difficult to do. It takes a lot of work and understanding of how to maintain relationships.

Theatre AUM and COVID 19

BY: Jayla Brown AUM’s campus looks completely different for everyone this semester. There has been a lot of change, which means a lot of adjusting to our “new normal”. This week I had the opportunity to catch up with Professor Neil Seibel about the changes happening in the theatre department.  When asked about adjusting to COVID-19 guidelines here at AUM, Seibel said, “We are adjusting. Theatre and the arts have always been about adapting to the circumstances, so in an odd way our students were rather uniquely prepared to handle the shift to hybrid experience.”  Many classes, activities, and club…

Scholarships, incoming freshmen, and promised playing time makes for an interesting and difficult decision on how to continue with this decision. Winter sport athletes like basketball may have a more difficult time arguing an extra year of…
