The Joseph A. Kicklighter Endowed Professorship in History
The Joseph A. Kicklighter Endowed Professorship in History has been established by alumni and friends of the History Department to honor and preserve the legacy of a professor who has inspired thousands of Auburn University students. On September 7, 2006 Joseph A. Kicklighter received the Gerald and Emily Leischuck Endowed Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching. "Over the past 30 years, Dr. Joseph Kicklighter has played a big role in why so many students consider Auburn University to be such a special place. Whether you developed an appreciation for history and learning in one of Joe's legendary History 101 classes, got to know the humorous and selfless Joe during his involvement with numerous honor societies and student organizations, or you set two alarms so you wouldn't miss the excitement of Dr. Kicklighter's Greco-Roman or Medieval History classes, a smile surely must come to your face when you look back on your association with 'Dr. K.' " (continue reading campaign letter from Tripp Haston and Tad Lidikay) To endow the professorship, the campaign must raise $300,000; nearly $100,000 has already been pledged. Your tax-deductible gift will help the campaign reach this goal. To make a donation, please print this donation form to accompany your check or use the Giving to Auburn secure online option.
