Dear AU Community,  

We are excited to announce that our new Campus Store location, in the Tunnel, will be ready earlier than planned and open for the university’s August 4 Preview Day. Preview Day is the university’s open house for prospective undergraduate students and their families. On this Preview Day, we are excited to showcase the Campus Store and invite the entire AU community to stop by. We will also offer clearance merchandise at the store’s former location from now through August 8. If you see prospective students and families on campus, please be sure to direct them to the new location.  

This summer, many of our team members and vendor partners have been working hard to complete a number of construction and renovation projects.  These projects, along with the other efforts across the campus are creating a retail hub that spans throughout the Tunnel and first floor of the Mary Graydon Center, all of which anchor and enable the next phases of the Student Thriving Project. In the coming weeks, we will share more information about all our exciting work with the community.   

As always, we invite the AU community to continue to contact us at mealplans@american.edu with questions or comments.  

Onward we go, together!
