The AUP global community of alumni, students, staff, faculty, trustees and friends of the University is diverse, international and multidisciplinary. Yet despite such diversity, there are certain values that unite every community member under the AUP banner. We turned to the community to answer the question of what it means to be part of AUP.

Alumni find meaningful jobs in communities all over the world, working on solutions to cross-border problems in fields such as sustainability, social justice, and health and welfare. We caught up with three alumnae who have translated their time as students into careers with a global impact.

AUP’s MSc in Human Rights and Data Science, launching this Fall semester, offers graduate students the chance to futureproof their careers while learning from faculty experts who work at the forefront of an exciting emerging field.

AUP produces graduates who are adaptable changemakers seeking meaningful careers. We caught up with three alumni who, a decade after graduation, are pivoting their careers in new directions.

Student media has long been a vital part of AUP’s vibrant on-campus community. As the University celebrates its 60th anniversary, administrative staff and student leaders are working together to restructure ASM to ensure student-led publications can have equal access to technical resources and faculty support.

The 60th anniversary of AUP is also the 20th anniversary of FirstBridge. We take a look at how the new strategic plan is re-examining the first-year experience for a new generation of global explorers.
