MATHES For the past 50 years, WAMU 88.5 has endeavored to be an integral part of the Washington community. As we look back on the past fiscal year in this report, I cannot help but reflect on the changes the last five decades have brought to both electronic media and our Washington home. We’ve grown from a local Washington radio station to a media powerhouse with international reach. We’ve also had the honor to serve the savviest, most loyal public radio audience imaginable. It is you, our audience, who has been the one constant in an ever-changing landscape. You’ve been there for us, through format changes, the birth of the Internet, the emergence of unprecedented media choice, and countless membership drives that have helped to fund the station’s coverage and programs. I directly attribute the successes documented in the pages to follow to our audience and our loyal community support. WAMU 88.5 continues to rank among the top five stations in both our home market of Washington, D.C., and nationally among all public radio stations in all measurement categories. We’ve continued to add staff to meet the demands of our audience growth and expectations, focusing our efforts this year in the areas of news, digital media, and development.

  • Appendix D Public Involvement
    Appendix D Public Involvement Introduction For the 2014 update of the TDP, the outreach goal was to target Circulator riders to get feedback on the current system, expansion plans, and proposed policies. To meet this goal, DDOT held six pop-up events at targeted locations. The pop- up locations were based on proximity to existing Circulator stops along routes being considered for expansion and areas considered for new Circulator routes. Where possible, the pop-up events were located at a Metrorail station. Summaries for each pop-up event can be found in Technical Memorandum D-2 later is this document. An online survey was also held during the meeting period as well as the two weeks following the pop-ups to allow people able to make a pop-up event to submit their comments. Comments were also collected via email and letters to the project manager directly from residents and neighborhood or business organizations. These comments were compiled between February 25, 2014, the Circulator’s Bi-annual Meeting, through the end of the TDP update period. The engagement efforts and data results are summarized below. The pop-up locations and times are detailed in the table below.

  • American University Department of Athletics and Recreation Verification of Receipt Student-Athlete Handbook 2019 – 2020
    Dear Eagle Student-Athletes, Welcome back for the 2019 -2020 academic year. It’s a special honor for me to serve as your Director of Athletics and Recreation. My job is to create and nurture an environment where each one of you can reach your full potential. As you know, American University is a special place and affords you opportunities that can only be found at a select few institutions. Your part of the bargain is to always conduct yourself with the character and integrity expected of an American Eagle student-athlete. Remember, your behavior is not only a reflection on yourself, but your family, your team and our institution as well. It’s a privilege to be able to put on the American University uniform each and every day--please, never forget that, and hold each other accountable. Last year we experienced great success both in and out of the classroom. Through hard work and dedication, you earned numerous Patriot League honors, and all the while maintained over a 3.4 GPA! This can only happen if you’re focused on both sides of the student-athlete equation and when our upperclassmen serve as role models and mentors to our underclassmen. I thank you for that. The enclosed manual is provided to you as a comprehensive source outlining your responsibilities as an American University student-athlete. It is the responsibility of every student-athlete to read this manual thoroughly and be familiar with its contents. However, should you ever have questions, or issues arise please feel free to contact your coaches, my staff or me directly.
