Real Life: Shared
Soar, Ravens, Soar!
As an AU Raven, you don’t have to fly alone. Here, you’ll find resources and links to the information you need to stay connected to everything happening here at AU. But the very best way to experience Real Life: Shared on the AU campus has to offer is to download the AU campus app!
With the AU campus app for Android or iOS, you can easily keep up with the latest events happening on campus, check your grades, read the latest class and campus news, and enrich your experience at AU. Also, you will earn chapel credit by checking in to services on the app.
At Anderson University, our goal is to give you the resources you need to plug into a meaningful community with friends, professors, and staff. So let’s soar together!
Student Life put together a list of things to keep you busy, happy, and healthy this summer. It’s called the Summer Care Package. Scroll down or click here to check out their recommendations!
