The Chancellor's Newsletter | May 30, 2024

rotunda-issue_1

Dear AUS Community,
 

Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Rotunda, a new initiative designed to keep you updated on the vibrant life of our university. This newsletter takes its name from the rotunda of the AUS Main Building. Located centrally and holding an important spot in our campus life. It's where we welcome our new students at orientation and where we celebrate the many achievements of our community through special events. It's also where we meet to share ideas through conferences and exhibitions. The Rotunda aims to strengthen the connection among our students, faculty, staff, alumni and the broader community by sharing the latest news and achievements from across AUS.

 

In this first issue, we showcase a wide range of university news, including significant academic achievements, research announcements and the remarkable accomplishments of our dynamic community. Our students and faculty have excelled in their respective fields, and we are proud to share their success stories with you here.

 

Additionally, you will find details about upcoming events and the notable accomplishments of our alumni.

 

Your feedback and contributions are essential as we aim to make this publication a true reflection of our shared aspirations and interests. I encourage you to explore this issue and engage with the content that resonates with you.

 

Thank you for being an integral part of the AUS family. I look forward to continuing our journey together.

 

Sincerely,

unnamed-1

Tod A. Laursen
Professor and Chancellor
