AU Commencement to Take Place on May 6, 2017
As classes begin to wind down for another school year, please pray for our AU students, and soon-to-be graduates, as they come to mind.

You can probably remember the stress leading into finals week. This year, finals week is the first week of May, with graduation occurring on May 6.

Your prayers, as always, are appreciated! 
New Process for Gift Receipts from Office of Advancement
In an effort to be good stewards of the gifts we receive, on May 1, 2017 we will start sending an electronic receipt to those for whom we have an email address. This receipt will be sent from giftrecords@anderson.edu. By sending your receipt through email you will receive it quicker and more efficiently, as well as allowing us to be more eco-friendly. These financial savings offer opportunities to enhance the student educational experience for Anderson students. 
Holy Week Review: Did you miss a Reflection?
In this season of Holy Week leading up to Easter, we reflected on the sacrifice and love of Jesus Christ with daily Holy Week Reflections.  This year's reflections came from faculty and staff members on AU's campus, including Scott Tilley, Marissa Johnson,  Jason Varner,  Maggie Platt,  Nathan Willowby, Michael Thigpen, Tamara Shelton, and  Marie Morris.  If you would like to read all of this year's Holy Week Reflections, please view the Facebook album.
