Straight from print: Students battle hunger at AU

This article originally appeared in The Eagle’s December 9 special edition. Students, faculty and student organizations are joining forces to work to create a potential food pantry at AU for students who suffer from food insecurity.

Straight from print: Where is my money going? The student activity fee explained

This article originally appeared in The Eagle’s October 21 special edition. If you read your tuition bill this semester, you’re likely to find an $88.50 undergraduate activity fee, a charge that goes towards student groups, programming, and events like Charli XCX’s August concert or speakers such as Hasan Minhaj. Every penny of that fee goes into the same account for a total of $1,070,000, according to Michael Elmore, the senior director of University Center and Student Activities.
