Employee Emergency Relief Fund
The Employee Emergency Relief Fund provides support for employees of the University who are confronted with a significant, unforeseen financial emergency. Since responsible citizenship and service are one of AUC's top priorities, and being a good citizen starts at home. The fund is supported through the contributions of members of the AUC community. Their gifts provide an indispensable safety net for our colleagues who may be confronted with an unexpected, temporary financial hardship.
