September's Scholar of the Month is Madison Patrick of Delta Gamma. Madison is a Senior majoring in Biomedical Science on the Pre-Med track and minoring in Psychology on the Neuroscience track. She is from Pensacola Beach, FL. "This year I have been applying to medical schools and am incredibly grateful for all the love and support I have gotten from my friends in Delta Gamma! I’ve been lucky enough to serve as DG’s Director of Social Events this past year, and previously served as the Philanthropy Day Chair. I additionally am currently a Pre-Med Representative for AED, IMPACT Project Coordinator, a COSAM Undergraduate Research Ambassador, Learning Assistant, and Peer Advisor in my research lab. I have loved doing research since my freshman year, and am thankful to have been accepted to present at collegiate, national, and international symposiums, publish two papers, and receive two fellowships for my research. I’m filled with gratitude for the many opportunities and experiences Auburn and Delta Gamma have provided and am excited to see what the future holds!"   The month of September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is a major health crisis in America and according to the CDC[1], 54% of Americans have been affected by suicide. Suicide can have lasting effects on families, friends, and communities. Below is a list of on and/or off campus resources that Auburn lists to support the mental health, physical health, and well-being of the campus community.
College can be a difficult transition, not to mention the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent world events that have happened over the course of 2020. As Director of Health and Wellness, I’m very passionate not only about physical health, but mental health, and I wanted to make these resources known to the women of Panhellenic. These past few months have been very isolating and overwhelming. Remember, there are people available to help you and you are not alone!

Each person has their own special school supplies that they cannot go without, this list is not mandatory but a helpful tool to use as a place to start to stay organized and on top of your class work for the school year!
SUPPLIES 1.) Planner: Having a planner will make sure that you never forget anything for your classes / day-to-day schedule! Since most professors rely on Canvas to post all assignments, a planner is nice because you can have quick access to the things you need to do if you are unable to get to Canvas at the moment. 2.) Notebook(s): A couple notebooks or a multi-subject notebook is a great tool to have since some professors do not post their notes and you have to take them by hand. Oftentimes, even if a professor does post notes, it is still beneficial for students to rewrite their notes for this can help them retain the material better. 3.) Pens / Pencils / Highlighters: These three are useful for note taking, organizing notes and studying. Some students find it helpful to color code notes for different chapters in a class or different information to make it easier to find the material they are looking for when studying. Plus, it’s always nice to be the friend that has an extra pen if your neighbor forgot one! 4.) Sticky notes: A pack of little sticky notes are nice if you have something important to remember such as: bringing a textbook to class, an advisor meeting, a blue scantron for test etc. This will keep that information in plain sight and you’re less likely to forget. 5.) Reusable water bottle: Auburn University has multiple water fountains and stations to fill up your water bottle all over campus. In Alabama, it stays hot for a long-time plus walking all over campus can easily lead to dehydration. Having your own water bottle will keep you hydrated and reduce the amount of plastic circulating in the environment. The Auburn University campus bookstore sells many water bottles with the Auburn logo and even sells Hydro Flasks. 6.) Headphones: Having a pair of headphones is also something nice to have in case you are on campus doing homework and need to watch a lecture or video but are not in a location where you can play the sound through your computer. Also, you can listen to music while you study or as you walk from class to class on campus.  Running out of things to do during quarantine?
