Changing the way We Connect

Through Change Can’t Wait, AU has strengthened its role as a nexus of connection throughout DC and beyond. WAMU—AU’s own NPR station—fosters dialogue as the leading public radio station in the greater DC area. Landmark accessions from the renowned Corcoran Collection and the sculpture Sudama from the National Geographic Society elevate the AU Museum as a local and national leader. Support for the School of Education’s DC partnerships have launched opportunities for students and educators in classrooms across the region. The gift of the Airlie Center—a historic hospitality and agricultural property known as the “Island of Thought”—integrates AU’s academic and sustainability initiatives with Airlie’s legacy. With decisive momentum, record-setting endowment growth and alumni engagement position AU for continued distinction among higher education institutions.
