A LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS
KATIE
GRUNDER
With a curious mind and
innate athleticism,
Katie truly exemplifies what it means to be an
Auburn student-athlete. The Dayton, OH native
chose Auburn to continue her soccer career at the
Division I level with a full scholarship.
While at Auburn, Katie and the Auburn Women’s
Soccer Team made four NCAA Tournament and
four SEC Tournament appearances - posting two
of the most successful seasons in program history.
Katie also claimed the prestigious Spirit Award her
senior year for best representing the Auburn Creed
on and off the field. As the soccer season closed
during her senior year, Katie decided to add another
challenge to her resume by joining the Auburn
Women’s Track and Field Team and competing in
the 100m Dash.
Katie’s athletic achievements are only part of the
story. The talented athlete pursued membership
in FMA her freshman year and went on to obtain
an internship with Regions Bank as an investment
portfolio analyst the summer of her junior year.
Katie channeled her grit and determination toward
landing a full time position. She will join JP Morgan
Private Bank in Boston, MA this summer as a wealth
management analyst.
“Stay open-minded
to new opportunities
- small or large. You
never know how
many doors can be
opened by the simple
decision to take
a risk.”
