In order to commemorate this momentous occasion, the Alumni Association is teaming with Housing & Dining Programs to spend the year celebrating. Over the past 50 years McDowell Hall has undergone a number of changes starting out as a women’s residence complex to the newly renovated coeducational facility it is today.  

..but we need your help!

Tour the Space
On Monday, September 10, you can join current students for a cake celebration and a walk down memory lane with on-site tours led by students.

Share your Memories
We are hoping to collect memories from our Alumni to showcase in McDowell Hall during the many events we are holding this year, including AU’s All American Weekend for Alumni, Parents, and Friends. 

If you have any pictures, memorabilia, quotes, or memories we are asking that you send them to us.  These items will be showcased at various events and publications used during the year.

If you would like to contribute please send items to:

If you would like the items returned to you please note this when you send them!

We look forward to you joining us ... in person and in spirit. Go Eagles!
