Sam's Circle Logo

The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering’s vision is to be the best student-centered engineering experience in America. We are fortunate to have hundreds of alumni, faculty and friends who share this vision and have remained committed to supporting our college in ways that truly impact our pursuit of excellence.

To encourage a higher percentage of young alumni giving, we are introducing Sam’s Circle, a giving society made up of young alumni who have graduated 10 years ago or less and have given any amount to the college during the calendar year. Named after the college’s namesake, this circle of young donors will greatly impact our educational, research and outreach mission and continue to build one of the most dedicated and committed engineering alumni bases in the country. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a huge difference in the lives of our students, faculty and staff. In addition, members of Sam's Circle will receive invitations to virtual and regional Young Alumni events.

Another membership benefit of Sam’s Circle is the opportunity to participate in our alumni-to-alumni mentoring program, GradConnect. Through this program on our Ginn Connections platform, you can connect and network with other Auburn Engineering alumni as a mentor, mentee or both! GradConnect facilitates one-to-one mentoring relationships that help you to expand your network, gain new knowledge and insights and build new skills. Click here to learn more and sign up.

Annual total gifts of $1,000 or more to the college qualifies you as a member of our EAGLE Society. To learn more, visit here.
