Welcome and thank you for choosing to learn more about being involved with AU. You are more important than ever to American University in its efforts to build upon our honored traditions of academic excellence and service, and to realize the aspirations of the AnewAU campaign.

While there are many ways to give, philanthropy is at the very root of our system of higher education. For much of our history, AU students and faculty have relied on the gracious support of benefactors whose resources have permitted us to grow, reaching higher and higher levels of distinction.

Whether you are an alumnus grateful for your AU education, friendships and memories; a parent who has entrusted AU with a loved student; a faculty or staff member who has committed life’s work to our institution; or a friend and neighbor who appreciates the contributions of art, music, and intellect that AU offers, there are ways for you to make an imprint today – and forever – on our mission.

Please contact us at 202-885-5900 to learn more about becoming involved.

Thomas J. Minar, PhD
Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations
