The day before the Fall Family Weekend tailgate, Parent & Family programs hosts a an early check-in for parents that are already in town. Generally the event is held outside of the Auburn Sportsplex. This year, we plan to host the event in two locations: outside of the Auburn Sportsplex and on Samford Lawn.

On Friday, Sept. 12, the entire Auburn Family is invited to downtown Auburn for a parade and pep rally to kick off Homecoming weekend. The parade begins at 6 p.m., completing a short loop around downtown Auburn before concluding with a pep rally around 6:30 p.m. on Samford Lawn.

Got something to say?or sing? Whether you?re a poet, musician, comedian, or storyteller, the stage is yours at Auburn Open Mic Night! Come showcase your talent or cheer on fellow Tigers as they light up the mic with original songs, stand-up sets, spoken word, and more.

The event is laid out as a grid of table and tents. At these are different abroad opportunities led by either departments on campus of third party providers that the university works with.

Students will arrive at noon and have a boxed lunch meal around round tables with visiting employers also seated with students. Career-related conversation starter cards will be at each table to encourage student and recruiter interactions. This will conclude at 1:00 and an open browse type Career Fair style tabling will happen around the perimeter of the room until 3:00 pm. Visiting employer recruiters will stay for next-day interview sessions in the same room. Students will be invited to these interview sessions by employers, or they may self-elect to interview by applying in Handshake.
