Faculty and Students
Auburn University Faculty
Faculty members at Auburn University serve as instructors with APAEP, on the Advisory Council for the program, and as a rich network of educational resources and national contacts.
Faculty gain valuable outreach and service learning opportunities by bridging the gap between the Auburn University academic and artistic community and this educationally and artistically under-served community in Alabama.
Faculty report pedagogical influences from APAEP experiences that they are able to merge into best practices for their Auburn classrooms.
Auburn University Students
Students from the undergraduate and graduate levels participate in APAEP programming as instructors, researchers, and through independent study programs. Participating departments include the Art, English, and Graphic Design departments.
