Finding Your People and Your Purpose

Welcome to Panther life! This is where academic rigor meets campus community through friendship, professional mentorship, mutual respect, and a culture and commitment to serving our community and beyond—all in the heart of Atlanta.

At CAU, student life is a big part of your education and growth. It’s building new and meaningful relationships, stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying new things, taking on leadership roles in clubs and organizations, and pursuing your interests beyond your major. You will be a part of a community where your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and your future is built from day one.
