American Campus Communities (ACC) DEFA14A Additional proxy soliciting materials

Exhibit 99.2

SUBJECT: Exciting ACC News!

Hello Team!

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I am writing to you today regarding our announcement this morning that we are undertaking a transaction to take the company private. Through this transaction, American Campus Communities will become the U.S. student housing platform of the global investment leader Blackstone. Please see the press release we issued today, available on our website ir.americancampus.com, for details regarding the many compelling reasons why our Board unanimously approved this transaction, including the attractive, all-cash premium it will deliver for all ACC shareholders and the opportunity it affords the company to grow and expand!

When we founded ACC nearly 30 years ago, our founding mission statement was; “To be the nation’s premiere provider of quality student housing communities and services through a unique understanding of and an unrelenting commitment to students, parents, educational institutions, and investors…” In 2004, we determined that the best way to advance that mission was to take the company public, and we successfully consummated our IPO becoming the first publicly traded student housing company. Our going public marked a new, ambitious vision for the company of transforming and modernizing the student housing sector into a mainstream, institutional asset class within commercial real estate.

Throughout our history we have all passionately strived to accomplish our original mission and our expanding vision, and today I can sincerely say, that we have exceeded my expectations in every way. The American Campus brand and reputation is synonymous with “best-in-class” among students, parents, universities, Wall Street, and institutional investors worldwide. And, the latter part of our founding mission statement; “Our people are our strength, achieving success through a dedication to excellence and integrity” has never been more true than it is today! All that we have accomplished is your success!

Turning to the future, and once again determining how to further advance our ever-expanding vision for the company, we believe that going private is the right strategic decision. As many of you know, over the last 5 years, the public equity markets have been quite cyclical and at times our public cost of equity has been more expensive than private institutional capital. During those periods, we saw many of our private peers execute entrepreneurially in the areas of acquisitions and off-campus development, more aggressively than our cost of public equities permitted.

As we look to the opportunities in the decades ahead, Blackstone has emerged as the natural partner for ACC to advance our entrepreneurial journey, to help us leverage our platform and talent base so that we can grow our core business and pursue additional innovative opportunities. We will continue to serve our current university partners and will seek to expand our P3 relationships with universities across the nation, and perhaps even around the globe! And excitingly, with Blackstone’s financial wherewithal and perpetual capital, we will now have the access to capital necessary to return to our historical role as the industry consolidator and as such we intend to increase our acquisitions and off-campus development activity.

Blackstone is one of the leading investment firms in the world with deep expertise, valuable relationships, and a long, successful track record of building world class businesses, as well as premier real estate and technology portfolios. Throughout this process, I have gotten to know the Blackstone team and I have seen firsthand how much they value our people, our platform, and our aspirations to realize our full business potential. Blackstone recognizes our extensive university relationships, NextGen-enhanced operating platform, top-tier assets and the unique role we will continue to play as student demand to attend America’s Tier 1 flagship universities rises. And, they realize that we have potential beyond our current scope of business.

Bottom line - this transaction is all about growth; and Blackstone has the resources, capabilities, and connections to help us accelerate our progress. A big part of the reason for Blackstone’s interest is indeed all of you – the talented people of ACC, the culture that we have built, what you have created, and what we are capable of building in the future. We are also confident that becoming a Blackstone portfolio company will create amazing opportunities for both our corporate team at the Austin headquarters and for all of our team members in the field.

While this announcement is an important milestone, please keep in mind that we are still in the early stages. In terms of next steps, we will obtain shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions necessary to complete the transaction, which we expect to occur in the third quarter of this year. Until then we will remain a publicly traded company. This means it is business as usual, and we should all remain focused on our day-to-day responsibilities and serving our residents and university partners. We will keep you updated, as appropriate, as we move toward closing. This process is highly structured and regulated so we are limited in our communications regarding the transaction, even with our employees, and as such we must publicly file all communications related to the transaction with the SEC, – including this communication with you. If you are contacted by media or other third parties about today’s news, please forward any inquiries to Gina or Ryan:

• Media or others to Gina Cowart at 512.350.8136 or gcowart@americancampus.com

• Investors to Ryan Dennison at 512.732.1053 or rdennison@americancampus.com

Team - we couldn’t have achieved this terrific outcome for our shareholders and the company without you. You are incredible – the best in the industry! I hope you share in my excitement for our next chapter.

As always, it is my honor and a privilege to lead this company.

With gratitude for we’ve experienced together, admiration for what we all have built, and with excitement for what is yet to come.
