Another Successful Year for American University: A Legacy of Excellence in Public Service

We are thrilled to announce another remarkable achievement for American University (AU) in the realm of public service. For over a decade, AU has consistently secured its position among the top 10 schools recognized by the Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) for graduate students entering federal government service.

This prestigious recognition is a testament to the dedication and excellence of our students and faculty. Achieving this acknowledgment for more than ten consecutive years fills us with great pride, highlighting the enduring commitment of AU to fostering leaders in public service.

With PMF recognition coming this February, our university is sixth in the nation for PMF finalists, with 21 students and recent alumni receiving this recognition. 

Behind this success is a collaborative effort, and the AU Career Center extends its heartfelt gratitude to our career advisors. Rob SanGeorge, our PMF guru, for his exceptional efforts in preparing our students for the competitive PMF program. We also recognize the outstanding contributions of our colleagues in the Schools of International Service (SIS), Washington College of Law (WCL), and the Kogod School of Business. Their commitment to guiding and preparing students for success is truly commendable.

This year, we celebrate not only the impressive number of finalists but also the outstanding conversion rate, with 21 finalists emerging from 28 semi-finalists. It is a testament to the effectiveness of our preparation programs and the dedication of our students.

As we reflect on this accomplishment, we look forward to building on this legacy of excellence in public service. AU remains committed to providing exceptional opportunities for our students and continuing its tradition of producing leaders who make a meaningful impact in government service.

Congratulations to our eagles on this remarkable achievement, and a sincere thank you to everyone who played a part in making this success possible.
