#GINNing Podcast

Megan Green, a senior in Industrial and Systems Engineering, knows a thing or two about keeping systems running smoothly and staying plenty busy herself. As a Cupola Student Ambassador, she helps represent Auburn Engineering, and you may also recognize her as one of our hosts of our social media series Brown-Kopel Locals. Before coming to Auburn, she spent her summers reaching for the stars as a Space Camp counselor. From optimizing systems to navigating social media and outer space, her Auburn experience has covered a lot of ground, and maybe even a few light-years. Buckle up and prepare for launch as all systems are Green!

Morgan Wootton is the president… of the Engineering Student Council.

Hudson Hager’s Auburn roots run deep. His great-grandfather graduated from the university in the 1950s and his parents met on campus and are both proud alumni. Throw in a grandparent, aunts and uncles who attended the university, and it’s obvious he was born for this. When he’s not in civil engineering classes or at the Sigma Nu fraternity, of which he is the vice president, he’s working for the family surveying business in hopes of graduating and helping to grow the company for the next generation. But until then, he’s our next guest on the #GINNing Podcast.

Kam Yousuf is proof that engineering and speed make a pretty good team. The sophomore in electrical and computer engineering is the president of Auburn's iRacing Team and an app development intern with Tennibot. From virtual circuits to racing circuits, Kam's finding innovative ways to combine technology with his passions. So, get ready to hang the new banners as we celebrate in Victory Lane with this episode!

PJ Green, a senior in industrial and systems engineering, is an employer’s dream.

So, move over Rocket Man. This Rocket Woman is ready to blast off to new heights. 

Straight from the City of Brotherly Love, this mechanical engineering student fell in love with Auburn the first time she stepped on campus. During her extensive campus tours, Haley Wallach quickly discovered that the East Coast is the Least Coast — and then she discovered Auburn. Whether Haley’s giving tours, committed to a plethora of organizations or interning with Brasfield & Gorrie, this rising junior exudes her love for Auburn, and Auburn engineering. Move over Rocky, this Philly native is the next greatest thing to impact the world — and this podcast audience. 

Former Auburn football player Robert Baker was known as The Touchdown Maker. Well, in Auburn Engineering, Kathryn Baker is known as the Good Grade Maker. In addition to excelling inside the classroom, Kathryn has thrived just as much outside the classroom as a member of the Auburn University Marching Band, a participant in a study abroad program and as a co-op student with Brasfield & Gorrie. And now, she can add being a guest on the #GINNing podcast to her résumé. 

You’re probably heard of Clifford the Big Red Dog, but, today, get ready for Emory Clifford, the Big Grad Marshall.
