Every year, AU takes on another class of intelligent, capable students who seek to make their new home in our safe campus community.

Since the beginning of this month, the student body has been left without a Student Government Secretary due to former Secretary Faith Rokowski’s resignation. Although the absence was notable, we believed that SG would be able to find a suitable replacement quickly in order to keep operations running smoothly.
