The Office of Alumni Affairs and Development is here to serve the global AUP community of alumni and former students.  We also help the University maintain and enhance its mission to provide the finest American undergraduate and graduate programs to students from all national, linguistic, and educational backgrounds, and to take our place as a renowned global center for innovative, interdisciplinary research.

Our Goals:

To strengthen and support the AUP alumni community by:
    - Providing benefits and services to our alumni and former students
    - Organizing global events and reunions
    - Bringing the AUP community of alumni, faculty, staff, trustees, and prospective students together through volunteering and mentoring

To support the continuing development of the University’s academic programs, expand and renew its facilities, and to provide scholarships to students through annual fundraising campaigns. Outreach to the AUP community is vital to the continuing success of the University and its mission.

Please feel free to contact us at alumni@aup.fr with your suggestions and queries.  If you are in the Paris area, do drop by!  Our doors are open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
