WASHINGTON - An annual tradition continued for American University Athletics as student-athletes and coaches from many teams did their part to enhance the grounds of the University for Campus Beautification Day on April 8. The unseasonable cold was no obstacle as groups from lacrosse, women's soccer, cross country and track, field hockey, men's basketball, wrestling, volleyball and swim & dive volunteered their time to help out all around campus.
The AU tradition, spearheaded by AU Facilities Management, the AU Arboretum and the AU Office of Sustainability, happens each April around Earth Day. Participants don the signature teal t-shirts, spread out and work to enhance the beauty and sustainability of AU’s grounds.
