Thanks to all the AUP parents and families who joined us for “Coffee with the Founding Class Members,” where we discovered AUP’s past and present in a conversation with the first graduating classes of the American College in Paris.
AUP Memory Timeline
This March 27, the AUP community celebrates 60 years since our founding in 1962. We’re raising our glasses to 60 years of studying on the Seine; 60 years of late night discussions in cafés and lifelong friendships forged in the AMEX; 60 years of study trips around the world; and 60 years of priceless memories that continue to inspire us today.
We asked you, the AUP community, to share your most cherished moments from your time at AUP. Below are your submissions, realized as a memory timeline.
