AWOL is a progressive student-run magazine from American University in Washington, DC. Founded in the spring of 2008 with support from Campus Progress, AWOL is now a recognized publication of American University. We publish a magazine once a semester.

We exist to ignite political and cultural discussions on campus, and serve as an outpost for students to explore assorted reportage: from editorial columns to long-form expositions, and even experimental cross-genre projects.

AWOL is not affiliated with any political party or ideology .

AWOL stories have an angle, which is different than having an agenda; our reporting is impartial and fair, but our analysis is critical and argumentative.
