Board approves AUM Wellness Center Sarah Fredericks, Auburn Montgomery’s SGA president, with Chancellor Dr. John Veres, stood before the Board of Trustees Thursday to make the case on why the Wellness Center should be approved and the selection process for an architect begun. “To be honest, with the state of our economy, this is the best time to start,” said Fredericks. The Wellness Center was approved unanimously by the board, and AUM will move forward with the process of finding an architect.
