25 Years of Academic Excellence
The Auburn Engineering Academic Excellence Program was founded in 1996 as the Minority Engineering Program. Dedicated to promoting diversity within engineering, the program serves to recruit, retain and reward underrepresented students within all engineering fields.
For 25 years, the Academic Excellence Program has played a vital role in promoting diversity among the Auburn University student body while serving students through academic and professional development, mentorship and peer learning. Now serving more than 400 students each year, the Academic Excellence Program offers those same opportunities as well as collaborative study groups, workshops, programs for career readiness and financial awards.
In recognition of the impact on student success that the program has made in its first quarter century, the program will be known as the Auburn University Center for Inclusive Engineering Excellence going forward. More representative of the broader support and expanded mission of the program, the Center for Inclusive Engineering Excellence elevates the standing of this program on the Auburn Engineering campus.
