ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

All-ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Welcome is a time to meet new friends, build community, explore involvement opportunities, and enjoy events and activities as you are welcomed (or welcomed back) to AU. During Orientation, new students will connect with classmates, learn your way around campus and explore DC. New and returning students are invited to a variety of events and celebrations to commemorate the start of a new school year. There's something for everyone!

Schedule Highlights

All events open to both new and returning students are posted on Engage! Engage allows students to discover events happening on campus and find student clubs and organizations.
