🇫🇷 There’s learning French from a textbook, and then there’s learning French by ordering your afternoon café au lait, getting lost in translation on the way to class, and spending weekends exploring towns just outside of the city.

Our @aupfrenchimmersion students have spent this summer using Paris as their classroom. Just small groups, native teachers, and the best city in the world to practice in.

When you're ready to trade your usual routine for a summer abroad, we would love to have you join us. Save the date for Summer 2027 and tap the link in our bio to check out the program.

In the meantime, drop your favorite French phrase in the comments! 👇

Professor Truong joined AUP after completing his PhD in Applied Mathematics and working as a post-doctoral researcher at Centre Borelli (ENS Paris-Saclay), where he focused on machine learning for time series analysis. He continues his research as a fellow at LaMME, University of Evry (Paris-Saclay University), applying geometric approaches to non-Euclidean data and collaborating with neuroscientists to identify early biomarkers of neurological diseases.

⚽ The World Cup has millions tuning in worldwide, proof that few things unite people quite like sports.

In that same spirit, we’re throwing it back to 2025, when AUP’s futsal team clinched the championship title. Here, Lachlan Flynn talks about the game, the club, and how it brings people together.

Futsal is just one of many ways AUP students build community and stay active. From basketball and running club to dance and beyond, there’s something for everyone. 🏆

Soy sauce as strategy. Milk as politics. A ritual meal as resistance. 🍽️

Last month, AUP hosted “Transatlantic Dialogues on Food, Culture & Power,” a day-long gathering of scholars from across France, the US, and beyond. Highlights included the global politics of artisanal soy sauce, the history of milk digestion, and a participatory performance confronting cultural erasure through taste.

Organized by Mathilde Cohen (CNRS) and AUP’s own Christy Shields, in partnership with Université Paris Nanterre and the CNRS-CTAD.

🍅 Hungry for more? AUP’s Food and Wine Studies minor lets you use food to critique power, analyze society, and work across borders and disciplines. Explore our full range of majors and minors at the link in bio.

The Statue of Liberty has stood in New York Harbor since 1886, a gift from France, with a torch its creators said lights the way to knowledge. This smaller replica on the Seine echoes that message across the Atlantic.

AUP carries that torch too, cultivating critical thinkers who engage with global challenges and take their places as responsible actors in the world. That commitment to academic rigor, global citizenship, and a world held in common is what the university has been built around for over 60 years.

Last week, AUP students walked the floor of @vivatech, Europe’s largest tech conference.

Now in its 10th year, VivaTech brings together startups, investors, and researchers from around the world to explore the technologies shaping the future, from AI and cybersecurity to energy and sustainability.

AUP has been an official academic partner of VivaTech since 2025, through the initiative of our ACE (Academic and Career Exploration) Team.

For student Princeton Roseborough, the experience connected directly to future career goals: “It was exciting to explore innovations that connect psychology, technology, and human-centered design, and it reinforced my interest in pursuing a career at that intersection.”

Thank you to @gealefebvre, @prince.promotions, and Stephanie Oghweh for capturing the experience on the ground.

France and the United States: two nations bound by a historical relationship, each projecting onto the other aspirations and anxieties that say as much about the observer as the observed. 🇫🇷 🇺🇸

Last month, AUP's Center for Critical Democracy Studies brought 23 scholars together in Paris for 'A Quarter-Millennium of Franco-American Relations'—a conference tracing 250 years of Franco-American history.

Held in partnership with The Tocqueville Society and with the support of Princeton University and the Chambrun Foundation, the event spanned two days, six panels, and two plenary lectures. It opened with an evening reception at the Hôtel de Talleyrand (@usembassyfrance) and will continue with a follow-up conference at @princeton in November 2026.
