Look out for AU at the best Fourth of July parade in DC! This Friday, July 4, marks the 59th annual Palisades 4th of July Parade & Picnic, hosted by the Palisades Community Association. And for the first time ever, the AU Community Relations office will be marching in the parade!

|
We'll be tossing out giveaways, passing out candy, and waving the AU flag. Keep an eye out for us at the parade then stick around for the post-parade picnic at the Palisades Recreation Center for food, music, and the best neighborhood celebration of Independence Day in the District.

Reeves Field and Greenberg Track Update:
Closed Until August
|
Installation of new sod for the field is complete, and the final layer of the new track will be poured today. Once poured, the surface needs a full thirty days to cure undisturbed before it can reopen for use in August.
In support of our project team, who works tirelessly to secure this site, we must ask that all neighbors refrain from attempting to access the field until we reopen it next month.
Damage to the new track will cause delays in reopening and expensive repairs. We can't wait to bring this popular amenity back online so we thank you in advance for your cooperation and we'll keep you posted on the track's progress.

US Army Corps of Engineers: Drilling Near
Fletcher Gate
|
Beginning Monday, July 7, the US Army Corps of Engineers and their contractors will conduct ground sampling for approximately two weeks as part of the final phase of restoration of the hillside adjacent to the former Public Safety Building site, located just west of the Fletcher Gate.
Based on the work plan and safety precautions, we anticipate this drilling will not pose a danger to, or disrupt, university operations. The work will be conducted during daylight hours and should be completed by 5pm each day.

Douglas will share insights into his layered process and how he uses visual media to explore memory, place, and personal experience.
