Eagles: Join me at 2 p.m. in the Letts-Anderson Quad for a study break! Let's all take a moment to breathe deeply! I'll be giving out hot chocolate, cookies, and free American University mugs to the first 150 students.

On the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, a white supremacist killed 3 people in Jacksonville. My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones and the Jacksonville community. American University, we will continue to work to confront hatred and create a welcoming community.

Sharing that this will be my final year as president at American University. It has truly been an honor to be part of this community of changemakers and to partner in taking AU to its next level. Please watch to find out how this will be OUR best year yet! buff.ly/3KwiQvO

Our 130-year-old scarlet oak – D.C.’s official tree – was damaged in this past weekend’s storm. Thanks to American University crew who worked all weekend to care for this tree and many others across our campus arboretum. On my morning walk, campus was as beautiful as ever!

I’m disappointed but not deterred. We are going to live out our values. As we work to figure out how to do that in the context of this Supreme Court decision, we will be guided by the fundamental idea that diversity and inclusion are essential parts of an excellent education.

So proud of our @AUEagles changemakers who traveled to Rwanda for the second-ever Eagles in Service international trip. Loved reading about their experience working with community members in the small rural town of Kibondo to build a sports court! bit.ly/3X6YX3q

There’s still time to apply for @au_wpi’s nonpartisan WeLead program, which aims to close the gender gap in politics by helping to train young women to run for office or lead a political campaign. bit.ly/448wJaS
