100%

American University undertook the Change Can’t Wait campaign with a bold call to redefine what is possible for the Eagle community. AU changemakers turned ambition into action. Through Change Can’t Wait the AU community has now given $500 million dollars to change the way students thrive, the way faculty advance discovery, and how we connect with our region, the nation and the world. Together, we’ve achieved the largest fundraising campaign goal in the university’s history. What can we say? At AU, changemaking is in our DNA.
