Why teach at AU?
The people. From administration to students to colleagues to support staff, everyone at AU is kind, caring, and collegial. As both of my parents spent their entire careers teaching in Christian schools, I learned early on that a meaningful way to live out your Christian faith on a daily basis was to teach in a Christian environment. At AU, this daily devotion is alive in all that we do, whether in the classroom or anywhere else on campus. The opportunity to engage with our shared faith through compassionate understanding and dialogue is a constant blessing.
