On Sep. 4, before the start of the AU-Akron football game at Jordan Hare Stadium, representatives of Auburn’s School of Nursing and alumni who have been on the front line during the COVID-19 pandemic were recognized at an on-field ceremony. On the field were Dean Gregg Newschwander and alumni representing each decade since the school was established:
- Claudia Henderson representing graduates of the 1980s
- Elizabeth Marshall representing graduates of the 1990s
- Annica Potts representing graduates of the 2000s
- Chris Martin representing graduates of the 2010s
The school was featured in the football program for the game! And before introducing SON representatives, this video was played.
