As we come to the final stages of the college decision-making process, I wanted to take a moment to share the powerful legacy that comes with becoming part of American University. 

Since its founding, American University has always been defined by its groundbreaking spirit. Now more than ever, we continue to ensure that our campus is enriched by people of different backgrounds and viewpoints. 

For over 125 years and up to today, AU continues to shape the leaders of tomorrow with a global outlook, practical idealism, and a passion for public service. From their first days on campus, your student will answer the call to tackle the world’s most pressing issues. Our commitment to empowering students to create change in their communities is reflected not only in our academic programs but also in the achievements of our graduates. A student’s journey at AU will prepare them to be a thoughtful, engaged, and impactful leader in an ever-changing world. 

By choosing AU, students will join a strong and supportive network of alumni who are dedicated to helping one another succeed—both during and after college. Our more than 160,000 alumni around the world are making a significant impact across all sectors, from politics and business to the arts, sciences, and beyond. This is the legacy future AU students now have the opportunity to join. 

Warm regards,
