Dear AU Eagle,

As we approach the end of another academic year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible work accomplished by the Spirit & Traditions Board. It has been an honor serving as your Director this year, and I'm immensely proud of what we have achieved together.

Throughout the year, the Spirit & Traditions Board has strived to enhance our campus community through a variety of engaging and meaningful events. From fostering school spirit to celebrating our diverse traditions, each event was designed to enrich the student experience and promote a sense of belonging. We are not done yet either!

Take a look at our last few events this year, and be sure to RSVP!
