On Jan. 11, 2016, the first day of the spring semester, American University Washington College of Law students returned to law school to begin classes at the shiny Tenley Campus. The day kicked off with a t-shirt giveaway and coffee and bagels at The Commons, one of the collaborative student areas. For many, it was the first time at the new building, which involved a lot of exploring and excitement about the new space’s accessibility and bright classrooms. As we continue to settle in, check out the photo gallery from the first day of the semester.
