    Dining on Campus

Welcome to our Web site for news about American University and information on campus activities, events, and other resources for the community. Maintaining good relations with our neighbors is a priority for AU and we welcome the opportunity to be a valuable and valued community partner.

We invite our neighbors to attend lectures on campus, enjoy musical performances and openings at the Katzen Arts Center, show their support as Friends of the Library, take advantage of special rates at the university fitness center and pool, and make use of campus amenities such as our bookstore, retail food outlets, and ATM machines. We also encourage neighbors to join the Neighborhood Liaison Committee, comprised of representatives who live near the campus and meet quarterly with university officials. We have much to enjoy together and hope to see you at AU soon.
