The evening featured several speakers including a keynote from Auburn President, Dr. Stephen Leath and stand up comic and Auburn Dad, Jeff Fox Worthy. Foxworthy used the acronym "redneck" to remind students of the skills and attributes they will need as a leader.  Over the next year, Emerge students will be participating in a special speaker series and several events designed to grow their leadership potential. Emerge is a new leadership program on campus this year replacing its successor Freshman Leadership Program (FLP).
