Parents and families are important partners on a student's college journey. The New Student and Family Programs team is here to support Eagle families from the time their students enroll through to graduation. We are dedicated to keeping you informed and helping you find the answers and guidance to help you support your student's success.

Family Programming includes communications, webinars, events, and more. We invite you to explore the AU Parents and Families webpage and to check back often for updates.

The New Student and Programs team is here to assist! Contact us at eaglefamilies@american.edu.  

The Nest Network is a group of AU parent/family volunteers that supports student success and the University. The Network is designed to foster community, enhance engagement, and represent the interests of AU families. Together, we create an environment in which families can connect, discover AU, and contribute to the wellbeing of both students and families in partnership with the New Student and Family Programs team.
