Personal Health Journey Inspires Generosity

Suzanne Morris graduated from Auburn with a nursing degree in 1987. But her love for Auburn began long before then.

With an uncle who played basketball for the Tigers in the 1960s and a cousin, Deborah Whatley, who was the first female drum major in the Auburn University Marching Band, Morris was raised on healthy doses of Auburn lore and frequent visits to the Plains.
