The Changemaker Awards recognize individuals who are role models to our students, collaborators for our faculty and administration, and powerful examples of changemakers in society.

Their loyalty, support, and expertise are critical to ensuring that AU and our changemakers remain at the forefront of pressing issues by elevating the student experience, inspiring impactful research efforts, and leading community-driven initiatives.

American University honored the inaugural Changemaker Award recipients at the 2022 President's Circle Celebration.
