The council is a group of Auburn Engineering alumni working together to support the vision and goals of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. The council meets twice annually to assist and advise the college, and its members serve on committees geared to the mission and operation of the college. The council provides leadership and participation in academics, development, governmental affairs, public relations, research and more.<\/p>\n<p>Council members reside in 25 states and even two countries outside of the U.S., including Canada and Australia. They also represent each of the college\u2019s eight departments and three majors that have been phased out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10744\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10744\" style=\"width: 783px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10744 \" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/Alumni-Council-Group-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"Alumni Council Group Photo\" width=\"783\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/Alumni-Council-Group-Photo.jpg 800w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/Alumni-Council-Group-Photo-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/Alumni-Council-Group-Photo-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/Alumni-Council-Group-Photo-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10744\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the 2026 executive committee and administrators pose outside of the Shelby Center following the spring executive committee meeting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Maury Gaston, \u201982 mechanical engineering who serves on the council\u2019s Executive Committee as the State of Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame liaison, said he got involved to give back as others had done for him while he was a student.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, my dad said, \u2018When you get some Auburn sand in your shoes, you never shake it all out,\u2019 and I wouldn\u2019t want to shake it out,\u201d said Gaston, who served three years as chair of the council.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery person with an Auburn Engineering degree, every person with an Auburn degree, is the beneficiary of Auburn men and women who came before him or her.

The council is about engaging, connecting and reinforcing that this is the best student-centered engineering experience in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together people from all engineering majors, all backgrounds, from all over the nation, is what gives the council its strength, Banister said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love working with other alumni.

I don\u2019t know of any other college that has that. It shows a level of dedication and pride that others are envious of, and it really makes a tremendous impact on our day-to-day activities, because we know we have that steady hand that is helping guide us and has the institutional memory going back for six decades. Many of my dean colleagues are truly envious of having something like that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples of how the council has supported, rewarded, inspired and encouraged the college\u2019s students, faculty and staff include a working dinner with the student organization leaders; hosting the college\u2019s research awards banquet and the council\u2019s alumni awards banquet; sponsoring numerous awards through the college\u2019s spring awards ceremony; namings in facilities; participating in dean selection committees; participation in the college\u2019s accreditation process and much more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10756\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10756 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/RNDM_CouncilMeetingSpring2026-34-of-48.jpg\" alt=\"Alumni Council Group Photo\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/RNDM_CouncilMeetingSpring2026-34-of-48.jpg 800w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/RNDM_CouncilMeetingSpring2026-34-of-48-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/RNDM_CouncilMeetingSpring2026-34-of-48-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2026\/05\/RNDM_CouncilMeetingSpring2026-34-of-48-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New council members who were installed in the spring are (L-R): Jeff Haars, Reggie Spivey, John Prunkl, Christa Musgrove, Russ Green, Kevin Gammill and Jason Gallaspy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey have direct touchpoints with our students through a variety of activities with our organizations, our students in general, where they host panels and informative events. For our faculty, they provide guidance, input and access to potential research projects and feedback on direction,\u201d Eden said. \u201cAnd then they serve a vitally important role in our accreditation process. In fact, the strength and commitment of our alumni base is one of the things that ABET highlights every time we\u2019ve gone through the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s that level of support, the bonds made between the alumni and the college they love, that Eden appreciates the most.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are people who become your friends. I think it makes it extra special because when the council members become friends, you can really trust their desire to help you and that they\u2019ll give it to you straight and unfiltered.
