Andreas Elterich used to be afraid of bees. That was until he joined the American University Beekeeping Society (AUBS) and realized how important they are to the community, the economy, and ultimately, the world.
“It’s not like your average club,” Elterich said.
The beekeeping society has been around since 2011, when professor Eve Bratman, a professor in the School of International Service, founded it along with several AU students.
The recent indictment in Ferguson may have raised questions about racism in America, but some American University students believe discussing them may be the key to reducing racism among students on college campuses.
Last year, AU announced its decision to replace the Art History Department’s most prized, high-tech classroom with a welcome center for prospective students.
