“The College of Education has opened doors for me, and as a future physical therapist, I would love to give back by improving the lives of others.”
Our Stories
The inaugural cohort of Auburn University's Doctor of Physical Therapy students took a major step in their educational journey Friday with the program's first White Coat Ceremony, sponsored by East Alabama Health. The event, which involved 21 physical therapy students receiving white coats, marks the transition from learning in the classroom to applying that knowledge during clinical rotations that will begin this summer.
Exercise and fitness performance might appear to be one of a few aspects of life that have not been touched by artificial intelligence. After all, there's no shortcut to proper exercise. However, graduate students in the School of Kinesiology's Exercise Assessment, Prescription and Programming class have used AI to evaluate health and fitness data, and assess whether AI-generated exercise programs are actually of benefit to the people who would be using them.
Three students from Auburn University's College of Education were recently selected to be part of the Gogue Center Ambassadors organization for the 2026-2027 academic year. Lauren Anderson, a senior majoring in music education; Marielle Burque, a junior majoring in exercise performance and health optimization and minoring in dance; and Anna Daniels, a senior majoring in exercise science and minoring in dance, were chosen for the organization, which provides a leadership opportunity for Auburn students dedicated to serving the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center.
