American University

No two days look the same for Ellie Levin, CAS/BA ’26.

As a CAS Peer Advisor (@caspeeradvisors), she helps fellow Eagles choose classes and navigate academic life. Between meetings, she’s diving into courses like AMST-220: Intro to Fat Studies, which explores body politics, culture, and representation, and SOCY-296: Sociology of Horror, where she examines depictions of gender in horror media and what the genre reveals about society.

And when class ends? You’ll find her in rehearsal with AU’s largest student-run dance club, @auinmotion, tutoring and mentoring youth in the DC community with @dcreads_au, or spending time with her @axoamerican sisters.

Ellie’s advice for incoming Eagles?
“Soak up every second and get involved,” she said. “I made so many of my best friends and favorite memories through campus involvement, and I wish I hadn’t waited as long as I did. Your first years in college can feel scary and confusing, but with my friends and mentors by my side, AU became my home.”

🎥 Follow along for a day in her life at AU.
