Auburn, Ala. (EETV) - Chris Roberts, dean of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, will be hosting public forums this Thursday and Friday to answer questions and elaborate more on his credentials as well as his visions for Auburn University.
“The public forums are a great opportunity for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and all members of the Auburn Family to meet and ask questions of Dr. Roberts,” Auburn trustee Wayne Smith said in a written response to questions from the Opelika-Auburn News. “It is a time to learn more about Dr. Roberts and his vision for the university if selected as our next president.”
The open-mic policy will allow students, faculty, staff, alumni, and any other interested parties to ask questions to get to know Roberts and learn more about what he could have in store for Auburn's future.
Two public forums will be held in person Thursday, with one for students in the afternoon followed by a reception for “university, community and alumni” at the Auburn Alumni Center later in the evening. A third forum is scheduled for Friday at the Auburn University Hotel for any students, staff or university stakeholders.
The student forum will be hosted from 1-1:45 p.m. in the Melton Student Center Ballroom, while the University, Community and Alumni Reception will take place from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Galloway Atrium of the Auburn Alumni Center. Friday’s forum will run from 9-9:45 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom at the Auburn University Hotel.
Roberts will host a final in-person forum at Auburn University Montgomery from 2-3 p.m. on Friday.
A virtual forum will be hosted Friday via Zoom at 3 p.m.
