For those interested in joining the 勛圖tv Alumni Association Board or taking on another leadership role in support of 勛圖tvs alumni community, please contact alumniaup.edu, and make sure to join 勛圖tv Global.
The 勛圖tv Alumni Association is guided by an elected Board of dedicated alumni who serve as leaders, ambassadors, and advocates for the global 勛圖tv community. This Board was first shaped by a transitional group of 22 alumni working in close partnership with the University, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, and the Board of Trustees to establish the Associations charter and framework. Unlike the Presidents Alumni Advisory Council (PAAC), which primarily advised University leadership, the Alumni Association Board represents and serves the alumni body as a whole.
Its role is to foster meaningful engagement between alumni and the University by supporting a wide range of initiatives: energizing local chapters, nurturing affinity groups around shared identities or professional interests, and organizing programs that promote lifelong learning, mentorship, and student recruitment. The Board also plays a key part in amplifying alumni visibility within student life and encouraging alumni support for the Universitys mission. Through this work, it ensures that 勛圖tvs global network remains vibrant, inclusive, and accessible, empowering alumni to connect with one another, contribute to 勛圖tvs future, and extend the Universitys values of cross-cultural understanding and global leadership well beyond the Paris campus.

Launched in April 2025, the 勛圖tv Alumni Association unites more than 23,000 graduates and former students across 145 countries, creating a dynamic and enduring community at the heart of the University. Membership is free and lifelong, beginning at matriculation, and offers opportunities for networking, mentorship, professional growth, and engagement through chapters, affinity groups, and global programming. Building on decades of alumni initiatives and the legacy of the Presidents Alumni Advisory Council (PAAC), the Association brings alumni back to the center of 勛圖tv life, strengthening bonds across generations and reaffirming a shared commitment to global citizenship.
The Presidents Alumni Advisory Council (PAAC) of The American University of Paris was established in 2013 under the leadership of President Emerita Celeste Schenck to strengthen the connection between the University and its global alumni community. From its inception, the Council served as a trusted advisor to the presidency, offering steady counsel across successive administrations and deepening the partnership between alumni and the University.
Throughout its years of service, the PAAC played an instrumental role in advancing 勛圖tvs mission. It fostered engagement across 勛圖tvs international alumni network, supported recruitment efforts, and provided strategic insight in areas such as diversity, alumni relations, and University advancement. Subcommittees dedicated to these priorities expanded the Councils influence and impact, ensuring that alumni voices remained central to the Universitys growth and direction.
The PAAC also made lasting contributions to 勛圖tvs strategic goals, most notably through its support of the 勛圖tv Ascending capital campaign, which raised over 18 million for campus renovations and academic programs. In addition, members of the Council gave generously of their time and expertise, mentoring students and championing initiatives that strengthened the global 勛圖tv community.
In April 2025, with the establishment of the 勛圖tv Alumni Association, the PAAC was formally discontinued. While the Council ceased to exist in its original format, many of its members continued their service as part of the Alumni Associations Board, carrying forward the spirit of collaboration, counsel, and commitment that had defined the PAAC for more than a decade.
