All first-year students
will participate in the American
University Experience (AUx), a course specially designed for students transitioning
into their first year of college at AU. AUx classes meet once per week as small, interactive and inclusive communities. The course provides a place for students to build academic skills for college success; learn about issues of privilege and bias; and explore
their own personal identities. The course also models ways of communicating and living in a diverse society, particularly in reference to addressing divergent opinions on challenging topics. How do you personally define an inclusive environment? What do you
believe contributes to a diverse and accepting community? 400 words max
