The concert follows AUM's second annual Spirit Day, organized by the Staff Council, which will be held Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the area between the Administration Building and Taylor Center. There will be hot dogs, chips and drinks while supplies last, as well as inflatables for the kids, one of which will be a water slide, and more. The Chancellor is allowing campus offices to close at 3:30 p.m. so everyone will have time to get their family and return for all the fun. |

Free AUM Express bus route now available for AUM students, faculty and staff
Beginning today, students, faculty and staff can climb aboard the AUM Express and ride for free with their Warhawk Access card. AUM partnered with the Montgomery Area Transit System to offer the free bus service after student surveys showed a need for this service. With the help of MATS administrative staff, this route was developed, which runs to popular shopping areas such as EastChase Mall and Wal-Mart. And at the end of the work week, the Rave Cinema joins the route so you can relax and take in a movie. The MATS bus stop on campus is located near the parking lot in front of Moore Hall.
