Hubbard
to receive Alumni's Sheffield Award
Susan Sorrells Hubbard, associate professor in Auburn University's
College of Human Sciences and director of the Hotel Program
in the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, is the 2004
recipient of the Pamela Wells Sheffield Award. The selection
of the recipient of this university award is coordinated by
the Office of Alumni Affairs.
Named
in honor of Auburn class of 1965 alumna Pamela Wells Sheffield,
the award was established in 1991 to recognize Auburn women
who embody its namesake's service and commitment to the university
and the Auburn family.
The
award will be presented to Hubbard during ceremonies at Auburn's
home football game against the University of Kentucky on Oct.
23. The first such award was presented to Sheffield posthumously
in 1991.
"Pam
Sheffield gave her heart to Auburn, and this award, named
in her memory, honors others who are loyal to Auburn and work
diligently to see Auburn succeed," said Deborah Shaw,
interim vice president for Alumni Affairs. "Susan Hubbard
reflects the wonderful qualities that made Pam the epitome
of an Auburn woman."
Alabama
First Lady Patsy Riley, among those who nominated Hubbard
for the award, said Hubbard's "most endearing quality
is her commitment and devotion to her precious family as well
as her Auburn family, friends and students. Auburn University
has a jewel in Susan."
A
1987 Auburn graduate, Hubbard has been faculty advisor to
the Cater Society since 1997, Omicron Delta Kappa since 2001
and Mortar Board from 1996 to 1999. Her work with the Athletics
Department has included service as an advisor and judge for
the Tigerettes and Tiger Hosts since 1989.
A
Camp War Eagle faculty honoree in 1996, she received the Emerald
Management Review Citation of Excellence Award and was elected
to Emerald's Hall of Fame for the world's best management
authors in 2003. She was a faculty honoree for the Successfully
Orienting Students program.
A
native of Opp, Ala., Hubbard is married to state Rep. Mike
Hubbard, R- Auburn, president of Auburn Network and a partner
in Craftmaster Printers. They have two sons, Clayte, 9, and
Riley, 4.
Pam
Sheffield was a 1965 graduate of Auburn. She married an Auburn
man and she sent her children to Auburn. She was, by any definition,
the consummate Auburn woman. Her love for Auburn went beyond
affection. Her love was a commitment to Auburn and to its
people -- its students, staff, faculty and alumni.
