President’s Message
By Caroll Ryan, PhD
As we recently celebrated the Fourth of July, I want to take a moment to reflect on two key principles that will shape your experience here at AUHS: freedom and responsibility.
College is a time of unparalleled freedom. You have the opportunity to explore new ideas, pursue your passions, and make decisions that will influence your future. This freedom is exhilarating and empowering. It allows you to discover who you are, challenge yourself, and grow in ways you never imagined.
However, with this freedom comes a significant amount of responsibility. Your actions and decisions now carry weight and consequences. Embracing responsibility means understanding the impact of your choices on your academic success, personal well-being, and the community around you. During your short time at AUHS, you have the opportunity to learn self-discipline, respect for others, accountability, and community engagement.
The freedom you enjoy as college students is a precious gift that comes with significant responsibility. Embrace both with enthusiasm and wisdom. Your journey here will be filled with challenges and triumphs, and how you navigate it will shape the person you become.
