Senior Class Gift

The Class of 2009

Our Senior Class Gift is a tangible way of showing our appreciation for all that AU has done for us and for the generosity of alumni who have come before us. We recognize that we have benefited from the gifts of our fellow alumni and now it is our turn to carry on the tradition.

Recognizing that American University is an active, socially conscious community, the Class of 2009 is donating outdoor recycling receptacles to help keep "the American Dream Green." AU students are known for taking active roles in affecting positive change, and the Class of 2009 would like to honor that tradition by demonstrating our concern for the environment in a tangible, sustainable manner.

Project Goal and Update

Our goal for this project is $15,000, which will allow us to place and service recycling receptacles next to each trash can that currently exists on the quad. Any additional funds raised will be used to purchase more receptacles for placement across campus.

The class has currently raised nearly $10,000 for the project and gifts continue to be accepted. Please consider making a gift today!
