On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I invite you to join us today at 2:30 p.m. as we introduce American University's 15th President. The announcement will take place in the SIS Atrium. Limited seating will be available in the Atrium starting at 2:00 p.m. Once we have reached capacity, those wishing to watch the event with other members of the community will be directed to a live feed in the Tavern, in Mary Graydon Center.

You may also watch the announcement live on Facebook or at american.edu/15thPresident (with captions).

A reception will follow the announcement in the Katzen Arts Center Rotunda, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend and greet the new president.

I look forward to sharing this important day with you and members of the AU community.
