Catherine Wise, CAS/MA ’27, came to AU determined to work at the @smithsonian. Last summer, she made that goal a reality with a 10-week internship at the National Museum of American History, where she explored fashion history behind the scenes.
“I wouldn’t have gotten an internship like this anywhere else in the country,” she said. Learn more: bit.ly/3VkZdPs

“You’re not college material.”
That’s what a high school counselor told AU double eagle Gerald Lee when he shared that he’d been accepted to American University.
At Opening Convocation, Interim President David Marchick shared this powerful story with our newest Eagles to remind them that they can’t let anyone else define their potential. Take 45 seconds to watch. piped.video/shorts/GC1FmB5UN…

A little wisdom from the late, great Dolly Parton made for the best Convocation ending ever 🦋
What better way to celebrate than with “Jolene” and an impromptu dance break from the Class of 2030? 🤠💃
Welcome to AU, Eagles! ❤️💙

Never have our summer weeks together been such an exercise for the body 𝒂𝒏𝒅 mind.

At AU, our coaches, staff and faculty are committed to supporting our student-athletes not just during their four years here but for the 40 years after they graduate. @CoachDSimpkins @AU_MBasketball @CoachK_Killion @davidaldridgedc
Choose the hard right over the easy wrong.
Today we learned from leaders whose decisions shape our communities and our country.
As part of our VIP Summer Visit Series, we welcomed Chief Judge Jeb Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, U.S. District Judge Casey Cooper, and Michael Barry, new Dean of AU’s Washington College of Law.
The conversation centered on leadership, integrity, public service and navigating difficult decisions—valuable lessons that extend well beyond the basketball court.

Unexpected finding from a big study on what ChatGPT did to colleges: "once the COVID-19 disruption is modeled separately, the introduction of ChatGPT had no detectable effect on grades.. course evaluations for subject understanding, interest, and relative workload show no change"
**How does GenAI affect grades in college? It can help learn, but it can also substitute for learning ("substitution hypothesis"). And how do students *experience* courses that GenAI can easily ace?**
We spent year+ trying to answer these questions, using some of the best data:
- Intuition: If GenAI helps learn, grades should increase in courses regardless of what assessment method they use. If GenAI substitutes learning, grades should increase disproportionately in courses with "susceptible" assessments (i.e. take-home essays).
- Data: admin data from one of largest U.S. universities
- Method: Compare grades and student evals in susceptible vs. non-susceptible courses before and after ChatGPT
Findings:
- No disproportionate increase in grades in GenAI-susceptible courses
- No disproportionate change in student evals
Interpretation:
- Not clear that GenAI results in learning substitution or reduced student satisfaction
- This could be for lots of reasons: students use it to learn, faculty adjust courses, etc.
Caveat:
- Analyses like these use lots of assumptions and researcher-degrees-of-freedom. So results should always be taken as suggestive rather than conclusive
- COVID is a big confounder, and results can be sensitive to how transient or permanent you assume its effects are

Interim President @DavidMarchick and Clawed Z. Eagle surprised American University student interns across DC with donuts to highlight AU’s new commitment to give every undergraduate student access to a funded internship or research experience, beginning sophomore year.
Our pledge, backed by $4,500, aims to ensure financial need never stands between a student and hands-on, resume-defining experience.
Watch the one-minute video to witness our students’ reactions. 👇🎥

Six months ago, Troy Elgersma was a top player for @aueagles @AU_MSoccer. Today, he's playing for the @LAGalaxy.
@deanmarchick called the recent @kogodbiz grad to see if he's still talking to his AU friends now that he's in the @MLS ⚽️
