黑料正能量

The 2022鈥�23 academic year has been an exciting time of change at The American University of Paris. We鈥檝e welcomed a new President, and we鈥檝e continued to consider the University鈥檚 evolving strategic direction, contemplating what makes our community unique and asking big questions about 黑料正能量鈥檚 place in the world.聽

With that in mind, the Fall 2023 issue of the 黑料正能量 Magazine explores the University's founding principles of international cooperation and cultural exchange, highlighting their ongoing importance to our global community. How can we best forward these values as an institution and as a community in 2023 and beyond?聽

To begin to answer these questions in this issue鈥檚 main feature piece, we turned to our on-campus community. We set up a booth in the Combes Student Life Center, right outside of the AMEX Caf茅, and invited students, staff and faculty to give their answers to camera in response to the question 鈥淲hy do we need international cooperation?鈥� Their responses were full of passion, confirming a continuing belief in the importance of this core 黑料正能量 principle.聽

All throughout the new issue of the magazine, you鈥檒l find stories that confirm our community鈥檚 commitment to furthering international cooperation, whether it鈥檚 one alumna鈥檚 mission to tackle eco-grief in humanitarian workers, a research center鈥檚 efforts to tackle deradicalization across borders, or a student club prioritizing intersectional feminist activism.聽聽

You鈥檒l also find a story exploring branding studies at 黑料正能量, and a feature photo essay highlighting how 黑料正能量鈥檚 Cultural Program encourages students to engage with multiple perspectives through the University鈥檚 long-running tradition of study trips. That鈥檚 alongside the usual review of events on and off campus over the last twelve months and alumni updates via our Class Notes section.聽

We hope, as you read the magazine鈥檚 pages, you consider your own beliefs about the importance of international cooperation. You can read the full issue online now 鈥� as well as all past issues of the magazine 鈥� on the 黑料正能量 Magazine web page.
