“War Eagle!” is a greeting shared across the Auburn campus and throughout the Auburn Family. The iconic eagle represents the Auburn spirit and the strength that is within all of us. It is therefore fitting that Auburn University’s comprehensive transition program for students with intellectual disabilities be known as EAGLES or Education to Accomplish Growth in Life Experiences for Success!
Being in the EAGLES Program has changed my life so much. I have grown an incredible amount from when I started in Fall 2021. One thing I have learned is to savor every moment that you have because it goes by fast. And be ready to soar on an incredible journey!

What began as a college experience has grown into a lasting commitment to place, people and purpose for Jamari “JJ” Johnson, whose time at Auburn University’s College of Education now extends well beyond the classroom.
The EAGLES Program was recently awarded a prestigious five-year, $2.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities initiative.
With the fall semester well underway on Auburn University’s campus, the College of Education’s EAGLES Engagement Council (EEC) is once again soaring to new heights of advocacy and impact.
