Our hearts are filled with gratitude and we are singing the doxology as a cummunity in response to the faithfulness and generosity of our Auburn United Methodist Church family (Auburn, NY). Thank you for the warm and gracious welcome, fellowship and support for student access through this gift of an endowed scholarship, presented to AU TN President/CEO, James H. Salley by Rev. Dr. Alan Kinney and Mr. Gary Lewis, on behalf of the congregation and the Gene and Florence Starbuck Scholarship Fund Committee. In a memorable Sunday worship service focusing on transformation through the Word, the Spirit and meaningful discipleship, our time of conversation/sharing of this scrumptious cake and tea was just delightful! https://www.unyumc.org/news/article/auburn-umc-paying-it-forward?fbclid=IwY2xjawQBrBlleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETJWc0xqenA0MnpCeU1Xb3FEc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHnH910HlZ0DxZrLb1tMZiMFK1yMBZ8yOiAqzJm9Odji0NYqDtinMeaXzURZi_aem_FBYTupdxqlAn6-1CbdRvMQ United Methodists of Upper New York

We love the energy on campus as this semester gets underway! Acacians are upbeat, and ready to bring their plans and dreams to life. Get to it, y’all! https://bit.ly/4raOlP1

As the new semester gets underway, we caught up with Africa University students to hear how it feels to be back on campus—refreshed, re-energized, and ready to take on the year ahead. Beyond academic goals, there is palpable excitement about reconnecting with clubs, teams, friendships, and campus life. Here’s to another vibrant season of learning, leadership, and investing in Africa’s future.

Happening now on the AU main campus, celebrating the legacy making leadership of Lisa Winton Tichenor of Highland Park United Methodist Church, Board Chair emeritus of AU Tennessee Inc. Council of Bishops President, Bishop Tracy S. Malone, described her as the “most passionate and extraordinarily impactful advocate” whose work has inspired us all.

Coming up: A moment of celebration and profound appreciation for the consistent, invaluable and impactful leadership contributions of Mrs. Lisa Winton Tichenor to the ministry of Africa University. From the outset, the presentation of the Africa Initiative at the 1988 General Conference of The United Methodist Church, Lisa Tichenor has been afire for AU. In recognition of her work in building relationships that extend AU’s impact, the Highland Park UMC-funded Student Union Building is being formally named in honor of Mrs. Tichenor by the AU TN Board of Directors today (October 28, at 8:00AM CDT or 9:00AM EDT). Join us live for the naming ceremony via FB.

Thank you, Bishop Joao Sambo (Mozambique Episcopal Area) and Mr Karima Chilima, UMCom staff) for a wonderful family get together at the AU Tennessee offices in Nashville, TN earlier today. Together, we gave thanks for this year’s freshman class of 898 students, which includes our first student from Madagascar, part of your episcopal area. Thirty (30) African countries are now represented in the student body. We are beyond proud of your leadership and deeply appreciate you for holding the students, faculty, and staff of AU in your prayers.

Drum roll please! Taking the top spot in a field of 28 teams in the Inaugural Wespath-Bishop Leonard Fairley Golf Invitational, played yesterday at the Orangeburg Country Club, is Claflin University! Congratulations to our wonderful and longstanding partners and friends at CU. Thank you, Claflin family, for all the ways you show up for AU - program development, faculty and students exchanges, research and support for student access!

It’s a wrap for game play at the W - BLFGI 2025 at the Orangeburg Country Club! The drizzle didnt dampen the excitement one bit. Great play, good food and an awesome gathering of AU friends and family. Thanks for supporting the cause by picking up Rev Joe Abram’s book of poems and those unique recycled wire pieces made by African youth. Asante sana! Tatenda! Obrigado! Merci! It’s been a great day. Time to find out who’s won that trip for four to AU/Southern Africa. Africa University
