With less than a week to go until Giving Day 2024 we're taking a moment to be grateful for everyone who has supported us so far in our journey, and the remarkable impact you've had. As a University, we work to bring together leaders, problem solvers, and creators from all over the world to change what it means to be a liberal arts college. Since our founding in 1962 we've grown from a one-room outfit to ten building institution with modern facilities across the 7th arrondissement. Our Paris community of over 1,200 students —nearly 45% of whom rely on financial aid every year— are the heart of our vibrant campus where they share their diverse perspectives, forge lasting friendships, and explore new territory in the classroom and beyond. Our donors make it all possible. AUP is powered by gifts, big and small, from our alumni, parents, trustees and friends. Thank you!

From October 28-30 AUP was honored to host Surréalismes Paris 2024 —the sixth conference of the International Society for the Study of Surrealism (ISSS) which aims to facilitate interdisciplinary and inter-regional exchanges on surrealism. In partnership with the German Center for Art History (DFK, Paris), the Université Jean Monnet Lyon-Saint-Étienne (ECLLA) and the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, the conference came in an important year for surrealism, with 2024 marking the centennial of André Breton’s First Manifesto, the publication of Louis Aragon’s Une Vague de rêves and the launch of the journal La Révolution surréaliste in the autumn of 1924. In honor of the occasion, the conference was one of numerous cultural events focusing on Surrealism (exhibitions, symposium, readings, publications) that are taking place across France. Alongside academic sessions and round tables, participants could also take part in other events: film projections, poetry readings, a visit to the Surrealism exhibition at the Musée National d’Art Moderne - Centre Pompidou, and more! Head to the ISSS website at surrealismstudies.org to learn more about other events in this centennial year. #Surrealism #SurrealismesParis2024

When Stéphane Treilhou wants to understand something, he makes it. Revisiting one of our favorite profiles from the past year, the AUP Magazine explored one professor's incredible creative curiousity that led to an unlikely passion: building a clavichord. 🎼 🔨 Read on at https://loom.ly/DGnu5rM #AUPMagazine #AUPFaculty #Clavichord #Creativity

We loved reading about your experience Ashley O'Hara ! Cultural Programs are a great way to take learning beyond the classroom.

While Tom Kennedy '90 was solo hitch-hiking around Europe he made a fateful visit to his mother's cousin in Alsace. Seeing Kennedy's curious spirit she suggested he interview at AUP (then ACP), which he did! Reflecting on that moment in the AUP magazine, Kennedy remembers her as the first person to offer "an alternative way of looking at one's life," someone who "seemed to be living a life she had chosen for herself." "Growing up gay in rural Ohio in the 1980s at the core of the AIDS crisis was not easy," he said, so by the time he was looking at colleges he knew he needed a change. In Paris, Kennedy discovered the wonders of city life, majored in Art History and began living "outside of normal prescribed life." And the adventures didn't stop after graduation. "A Greek artist known as Takis once told me to take advantage of every single opportunity that presents itself," says Kennedy. "I do that to this day and I've had an amazing life." #AUPAlumni #AUPMagazine

AUP's Director of Human Resources, Stephanie Buisson , and HR Administrative Executive Assistant, Sophia Stéphany , are always looking for ways to improve the wellbeing of faculty and staff. So when Buisson suggested launching an institutional challenge to get a group to run La Parisienne, an annual all female race with proceeds going to breast cancer research, the whole team mobilized. On a recent Sunday, months of hard work paid off as 30 women—15 walkers and 15 runners— from across AUP's faculty and staff gathered near the Eiffel Tower to participate in the 7-kilometer race. “The theme was flower power—some of us had flowers in our hair—and there was music everywhere," said Stéphany. "It was so festive and fun—there couldn’t have been better energy all day! And the brunch was so cozy. It was a great experience we will repeat next year." Well done to the whole HR team and to everyone who took part! Read the full story at https://loom.ly/T6c27l8 #AUPCommunity #LaParisienne #OctobreRose
