We are people helping people
We explore the social complexities of human life from beginning to end to improve quality of life worldwide.

Our Stories
What began as a first-time visit to determine where to enroll their son for preschool ultimately led to three more of their children attending the Auburn University Early Learning Center (AUELC) in the College of Human Sciences, the establishment of an endowed fund, and a lasting impact on the Schmidt family's lives.
For Sharon Wilbanks and her daughter Olivia Wilbanks, The Auburn University Early Learning Center is not just a place, it is a center that's molded and shaped them as a family.
As Auburn celebrates the Early Learning Centers centennial, former Auburn Mayor and Auburn University alumnus Bill Ham Jr. offers a unique perspective on the center's enduring place in the Auburn community and its continued role in helping shape the future of the city and beyond.
