November 14, 2018 by Morgan Binkerd

Whether a student, professor or faculty member, every Raven has their own AU story. Perhaps yours is a legacy story or maybe one of paving your own way. People from different states, countries and continents have made AU home over the years. AU is more than just an institution or a college campus. AU is made up of the people who call this place home, and the stories of what brought them here are what keep AU alive. As we continue to grow in community together, every individual “My AU Story” … [Read more...]

Roommates record debut EP at Oranghaus

October 31, 2018 by Troyer Goldman

Freshman roommate assignments can be a daunting experience laden with anxiety and questions about who the invisible hand of residence life “matched” you with. Many fear the worst: for all they know, that match could be the type of person who streams video late into the night, constantly has their significant other over or leaves the room a messy warzone of dirty laundry and food wrappers. This person could very well become your worst enemy, or, if you are fortunate, your best friend. The … [Read more...]

As the homeless … [Read more...]
