Welcome to American University… Summer 2013 Dear Guest: For years, Housing & Dining Programs at American University has hosted a variety of conference groups and individual guests. Thousands of people have come from all corners of the globe to attend professional development programs, improve their English language proficiency, or have internship experiences in the Nation’s capital. Regardless of the reason you are here, we are happy that you have chosen to spend some time with us. Whether you will be staying with us for the summer or just a few short days, this guide should provide answers to many questions you may have about American University or the District of Columbia. We are located within a few miles of some of DC’s most historic sites. Art, history, culture, shopping, entertainment, championship sports – it’s all here. The galleries, restaurants, stores and parks of DC are at your fingertips. Explore the historic area of Georgetown, shop at the boutiques of Friendship Heights, or visit one of the nine Smithsonian Museums that DC has to offer. The dynamic and international District of Columbia is your campus. Enjoy all that this city has to offer, and most importantly, enjoy your stay at American University! For additional information on our Summer Conference program, or if there is anything we can do to make your stay a more pleasant one, please contact me in the Housing & Dining Programs office, at (202) 885-3370 or via email at: summerhousing@american.edu.
