A MESSAGE FROM
AUR'S PRESIDENT

As we reach the end of the academic year, I write to you with a sense of urgency.

Let us unite and conclude this year on a resounding note of success.

The American University of Rome recently celebrated a momentous occasion, its 54th Commencement. The joy and satisfaction expressed by our students and parents reflect the exceptional educational experience they have had at AUR. It was truly a historical milestone for us to witness the graduation of our largest class ever.

Since the launch of our new strategic plan just three years ago, AUR has been defying the prevailing trends in higher education with a remarkable growth trajectory. However, as a small, tuition-driven institution, we still face challenges due to our reliance solely on tuition revenue. This reality leaves little room for the ambitious and necessary plans we have for upgrading our campus and expanding our programs.

Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join me in making a gift to the AUR annual fund. Your contributions, as esteemed alumni, parents, and friends, play a vital role in providing the essential support that distinguishes the AUR experience from all others.

Through our Annual Giving campaign, we can sustain and enrich our distinctive academic programs, ensuring an unparalleled educational journey for our students.

As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30, I write to you with a sense of urgency. Let us unite and conclude this year on a resounding note of success.

Together, we possess the power to unleash AUR's immense potential, embrace the limitless possibilities before us, and pave the way for others to follow. This is our moment, and through collective effort, we will shape a future that we can wholeheartedly claim as our own.

​

Scott Sprenger

President, The American University of Rome
