Join us on this journey through our past, present and future, as we celebrate 60 years of AUP.
The University’s 60th anniversary focuses on what unites us as AUP community members who have lived, studied and worked together across six decades in Paris.
This website is designed to celebrate our community’s achievements and successes, to acknowledge how far the University has come since its first classes were held in 1962, and to project our thinking into the future, as we move ever closer to becoming the premier American international institution of higher-learning in Europe.
