Celebrating Impact at the Change Can't Wait Festival

Thank you to all the Eagle alumni, students, faculty, staff, and families who joined us at the Change Can’t Wait Festival on September 28. 

Change Can't Wait

Together, we celebrated the transformative achievement of AU changemakers like you and the impact that Change Can’t Wait: The Campaign for American University is making on our campus, region, and world.

Campaign Impact

With the Change Can’t Wait campaign surpassing the history-making $500 million goal, our community is changing the way:

Our Students Thrive—raising $140M+ for new and expanded scholarships, experiential learning, and capital projects on campus

We Advance Discovery—raising $170M+ for endowed faculty positions, signature centers and institutes, and research support

We Connect—raising $190M+ to expand AU’s reach in our Washington, DC home and beyond

Thank you for being part of the largest fundraising effort in AU’s history.

What can we say? At AU, changemaking is in our DNA.
