Kelli Shomaker, Auburn’s vice president for business and finance and chief financial officer, said the fall 2021 tuition freeze was recommended as many parents and students are facing ongoing financial hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the university received a significant increase in state appropriations for fiscal year 2022.

Dr. Paul Waddy loves to tell stories.
He could spend hours, if not days or weeks, chronicling his 56 years with what is now the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES). Chances are that he would relish every second of those opportunities.
Waddy, who is retiring as State Leader, Diversity & Multicultural Affairs for ACES, is enjoying a well-deserved opportunity for honor and reflection. On a recent January afternoon, he sat outside of Duncan Hall – the headquarters of ACES on Auburn University’s campus – and shared several tales with a small but captivated audience.
