9/11: On the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember the lives lost and honor the courage of those who responded.

At American University, we also remember the members of our own community whose lives were taken that day. We honor their memory and the lasting impact they had on those who knew them.

What does an Odyssey look like at AU? We decided to have a little fun with it! 🦅
This isn’t Homer’s version. Ours is filled with new experiences, opportunities, and plenty of fun along the way: internships that connect learning to what comes next, study abroad that brings new perspectives, experiences that extend far beyond the classroom, and life in Washington, DC, where students learn, grow, and build connections every day.
So, we put some of what makes AU life unique to a beat 🎶
The result? Our own take on the American Odyssey.
