<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Like the oak trees at Toomer\u2019s Corner, Laura Olds\u2019 Auburn roots run deep. Her grandfather, Wartan Jemian, founded the college\u2019s materials engineering program and her parents, Bob and Connie Jemian, met in the university\u2019s marching band while attending Auburn in the mid-\u201970s. Laura also met her husband, Chris, in Auburn, and both currently work in the college, with Chris serving as an information technology specialist for Network Services while Laura serves as an academic adviser for Student Services.<\/span><\/p>\n
Because her Auburn roots run so deep, so does her passion for the university, the college and what she loves most \u2014 working with the students. <\/span><\/p>\n
As an academic adviser, she specializes in serving the transfer student population, along with other non-traditional students.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cEvery student has a different situation, whether they\u2019re coming from a community college or they are a veteran,\u201d Laura said. \u201cThese students often feel they have a complex situation, and I enjoy bringing some clarity to them. I enjoy making an impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
Olds serves the pre-engineering student population, and she thoroughly enjoys helping them move into their major and inevitably graduate.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe students can have a lot of questions, whether it be about credits or classes, and I enjoy stepping in and being their advocate,\u201d Laura said. \u201cI just love it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
