Kevin Sutherland, an alumnus of the American University School of Public Affairs, was known for his love of politics and policy. The Trumbull, Connecticut native left his mark on AU as a two-term secretary of the student government, an advocate for liberal causes, and a kind and passionate friend to many. Diving into life in Washington, Kevin interned for U.S. Representative Jim Himes and after graduation, worked for New Blue Interactive, a digital strategy firm that helps Democratic candidates’ fundraising programs.
In the wake of Kevin's tragic death on July 4, 2015, family and friends are honoring his life through funds established at American University.
The Kevin Joseph Sutherland Memorial Fund
The Kevin Joseph Sutherland Memorial Fund was established by Kevin's family and close friends to provide scholarships to AU students. Your gift will help endow this fund, creating a lasting legacy in Kevin's honor. Give to the Kevin Joseph Sutherland Memorial Fund.
Kevin was a valued member of the community and a rising star in political strategy. The AU community is fortunate to have known him and hopes to honor his life by helping other students pursue their passion for public service just as Kevin did during his time at AU.
