Alumni Network

One of AUP’s missions is to ensure the breadth and the strength of our community across the globe, which means doing everything we can to help current students (graduates and undergraduates) to connect with alumni who offer inspiration and who may also help open doors to new opportunities. Indeed, with the close-knit culture of our University comes the opportunity to truly network and maintain real contact within the AUP community even after leaving campus.

Global mentoring

“The Global Mentoring Program was everything that I had hoped it would be! My advisor’s anecdotes and experience really give perspective and insight into the field I would like to work in.”

Global Mentoring Program

Current students may benefit from alumni experiences and expertise though the Global Mentoring Program, run by the Office of Development and Alumni Relations and the ACE Center.  
Alumni mentors guide students in setting and achieving academic, personal and professional goals and provide insights to support their mentee’s goals for post-AUP life.
