The Women’s Philanthropy Board recently had the privilege of hosting two exceptional gatherings to share about our mission, educational programs, and the lasting impact we make within the College of Human Sciences.

WPB was especially honored to welcome some of Auburn’s distinguished athletics leaders to our Top Shelf PHILS event; bringing excitement and a true sense of the Auburn spirit to the evening.

A special thank you to our WPB members who shared what this organization means to them personally and spoke about the importance of philanthropy and investing in the programs and students in the College of Human Sciences.
