It may seem crazy in today’s job market, but once upon a time, people used to go to work for a company and stay for nearly a lifetime. Here at AU, we are very fortunate to count more than 130 loyal AU faculty and staff members who have contributed their time, energy, and talent for more than 20 years. Last week, 18 new members were inducted into AU's Twenty-Year Club and thanked as they joined the ranks of this special group. AU’s Twenty-Year Club celebration included dinner at the Loews L'Enfant Plaza, followed by a performance of “Señor Discretion Himself” at Arena Stage.
