AUM’s Introduction to Meditation

BY: Jess Alldredge Montgomery, Ala. – Oct. 31, 2020 – Meditation is a helpful tool to use when trying to create inner-peace and keep yourself stable in a very unstable world.

AUM will offer a reoccurring event focused on teaching the basics of meditation to students starting Thursday, November 5 from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM.

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 meetings on campus have been moved either strictly online or partially online. As for the theatre department, Seibel stated, “Instruction has moved to in-class and simulcast, m...

NCAA Makes Right Move with Eligibility Announcement

BY: Jason Martin In the middle of all the uncertainty around college athletics as a result of the COVID-19 virus, the NCAA made the right move and shut down sports for the foreseeable future. One thing that had sports fans and student athletes concerned was the question surrounding students’ eligibility. There is a lot that goes into giving a student-athlete their eligibility back. 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 eligibility because their season was either over or ending within the next few weeks if the virus had not shut everything down. Spring sports, however, had major conce...

AUM’s Mid- Autumn Festival

BY: Kaleria Jackson The Office of Global Initiatives hosted a Mid- Autumn Festival this October on the Quad. The festival included different offices from all over campus that came out to participate in the festivities. The offices had multiple tables set up across the Quad, with each table having different activities or goodies. As students came out to the event, you could see how excited they were to see the festival going on. I was able to go around to each table to glance at what each office decided to do at the festival. The students had the chance to play musical chairs to win cake pops or bowl for a chance to win an AUM bottle. As for the food, there was sweet potato pie, cake pops, popcorn, cookie cake, candy, spring rolls, crab rangoon, wontons, and more. Students raved about h...
