In case you missed it, on Friday, September 20, we hosted our annual Neighborhood Movie Night which featured a screening of Disney Pixar's Inside Out 2. The turnout was great as families enjoyed popcorn, snacks, beautiful weather, and a free movie under the stars in our outdoor amphitheater. The blockbuster night was covered in a great article for AU Now and is just one of many upcoming fall events that will welcome neighbors to AU's campus for fun and engaging activities.

Updates on Ongoing Projects, Programs, and Ways to Get Involved with AU Today |
AU's Civic Life initiative builds on our strengths in civic education and engagement across numerous disciplines (ranging from politics to the arts to STEM to business) and provides the tools we all need to engage and solve problems with one another across viewpoints, perspectives, and lived experiences. While we often talk about civics in terms of democracy, elections, and government, it is a much broader concept that is at the heart of who we are and what we do. Please join us at one of the upcoming Civic Life events.
