AU is "Very Walkable"
While about my travels online, I came upon a website that ranks neighborhoods in major cities on their walkabiltiy. DuPont Circle came in 1st of the DC neigbourhoods and the 17th most walkable in the nation. Tenleytown and the area surrounding AU came in at a respectable 77 out of 100 for the walkablitly. Here is the website to check it out with AU highlighted.

Add Events!
So you're a club president at AU, or at least a club member. Have a event coming up that you want to advertise? Submit it to the Jolt here at AU and get a whole new audience. This year we're looking to get more people involved than ever, and with you submitting events, you help the Jolt community grow, as does yours.

Advisers: Friend or Foe
Your adviser is sometimes the one person you've interacted with the most throughout your career at AU. They can make or break your experience by either making life easy or extremely difficult. They are the gateway to the huge bureaucracy that makes up our lovely college. But, how are they evaluated? Unlike for professors, students do not fill out an evaluation form after each semester. But shouldn't we? How do their higher-ups who make their employment decisions know if they're doing a good job? I've heard dozens of horror stories and I am currently being shafted by my adviser. Hopefully the next Student Government can bring about some accountability with our academic advisers. Tell your story in the forum.

"I have a question, and I want you to be as honest as possible when you answer this. I heard someone say this the other day and I'm not sure what to make of it. What does 'shizzle' mean?"
-- Prof. Andrew Lewis, American Encounters 1492-1865
