AUBURN, Ala. - From their view in the east stands at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the fathers and children who attended Auburn’s 42-14 win Saturday over Louisiana-Monroe created lifelong memories.
“One of the girls was telling me she had never been in a place this big,” said Dr. Katrina Akande, an Auburn University assistant professor and extension specialist. “She said, ‘I’ve never seen this many people before.’ Just giving them that exposure is really good.”
Akande coordinates Staying Connected, a Cooperative Extension program designed to better connect Head Start dads with their children.
