Good morning, Auburn.

Riley Parman, a 21-year-old junior, was elected Miss Auburn 2025 on February 7 after a very close race decided by run-offs with a vote difference of fewer than 100 votes.

She will serve as the official hostess of Auburn University and plans to use her role to highlight and support fellow students.

Jamie Heath and his children, Avery and Abbey, graduated from Auburn University and said their mother, Heather, was key in their success — marking a shared milestone in education.

Miss Auburn University 2024 Mary-Coker Green, who recently graduated from Auburn University with a degree in agricultural economics and a minor in public relations, said Auburn made her feel like home and helped her overcome hard times while earning a full tuition scholarship.

She will work in the Office of Advancement and has started a nonprofit—Engage: Building Healthy and Resilient Minds—and written a children’s book to help young people deal with loss.

Florida-based Bedner Growers recalled cucumbers distributed since April 29 after 26 cases of salmonella were reported in 15 states, including Alabama, with nine hospitalizations as of May 16.
