THE INSTITUTION

Chartered as a liberal arts college in 1962, The American University of Paris is today an urban, independent, international university located at the meeting point of France, Europe, and the world. Our 1,200 students are citizens of 106 countries (around half typically have a U.S passport.) and speak 70 languages and dialects. The University provides a student-centered, career-enabling, and transformative learning experience to the global explorers who are its Bachelor’s and Master’s students, empowering them to cross both disciplinary and cultural borders with ease in order to assume their places as responsible actors and leaders in over 140 countries worldwide.

AUP’s mission is to educate its graduates to communicate effectively in a world of many languages; to read well, listen carefully, and write intelligently in a voice of their own; to become critical thinkers about history and human societies, economics, culture, literature, the arts, science, politics, psychology, business, and communication; to develop creative interdisciplinary solutions to contemporary global challenges; to be digitally literate in a world of swift-paced change; to understand the ethical imperatives of living in such a world; and to move across the cultural borders of the contemporary world with a sense of commitment to and responsibility for a world held in common.

The University achieves its mission by providing to its students a curriculum combining liberal arts inquiry, preparation for professional life, and student-centered, active learning in small classroom settings; dynamic, engaged teaching informed by both disciplinary and interdisciplinary faculty scholarship; a host of opportunities for direct experience of the world and its many cultures; a wealth of intellectual exchanges on campus at conferences of global reach; and an integrated learning model that marries classroom learning and its application to real-world contexts, preparing students to master and to make, to reflect and to apply, to analyze and to act. In these ways, an AUP education supports professional skills development and cultural fluency—the sense of global engagement and the capacity to negotiate difference that emerge naturally from the diversity of AUP’s student and faculty bodies. Upon graduation, AUP students take part in and benefit from the global network that is our worldwide alumni community, creating lifelong connections to one another and to the University.

LOCATION AS ENDOWMENT

Spread across Paris’ 7th arrondissement stretching from the Eiffel Tower to the Hôtel des Invalides, AUP has the remarkable advantage of its unparalleled location. The University shares this neighborhood with other American institutions such as the American Library of Paris and the American Church. Acknowledging the importance of our location, AUP is actively implementing an ambitious multi-year campus redevelopment plan. The final and most significant piece of this plan, the purchase and renovation of 69 Quai d’Orsay, will be completed in fall 2018. When completed, the AUP campus will be both functional and beautiful, consolidating AUP’s student life and learning experiences at our main location on the Seine. The AUP curriculum is attached to the histories of the city—to Paris’s many centuries of art, culture, literature, politics, sociology and the like, to its monuments, libraries, neighborhoods, but also to the edgy new Paris of demographic shifts, rising multiculturalism, food that is other than French, urban renewal, and texts in many different languages.

AUP'S ACADEMIC PROGRAM

AUP is a small, dynamic “world university” with a curriculum to match—one that focuses on the cross cultural and the comparative in the service of our students. The University’s curriculum is essentially American, although inflected by the international educational background of AUP’s diverse faculty body. The rigorous University curriculum is divided into departments with over 20 undergraduate majors. Interdisciplinary programs and minors flourish, driven by faculty research interests and scholarly passions. AUP is also host to the George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights and Conflict Prevention, the Joy and Edward Frieman Center for Environmental Studies, the Center for Critical Democracy Studies, the Center for Writers and Translators, the Civic Media Lab, the Cahiers series, the AUP Fine Arts Gallery space, and numerous lecture series. The University maintains vibrant partnerships with a global consortium of 26 American universities across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa, as well as with liberal arts institutions in the US, and national universities across Europe.

STUDENTS

Supported by a curriculum that promotes active learning and faculty that mentor them closely, AUP’s students today enjoy unequaled cultural experiences and opportunities for lateral learning amongst a diverse group of peers, close relationships with members of staff, integrated advising and career services with demonstrable professional outcomes, and access to a life and learning center in the 7th arrondissement of Paris that puts the student learning experience at its heart. The vast majority of our students are self-selecting, reporting to us that AUP was their first choice (from 75-84% of the entering class over the past few years), drawn as they were to our location in Paris, our multicultural, multilingual community, the reputation of the University, and the adventure of studying in a country that is not their own. These are the students the university exists to serve.

In 2013-14, preparing for a new cycle of strategic planning, AUP undertook a year-long study of its most successful, self-selecting students—called global explorers—relying upon institutional research on current and former students, correlation of “fit” characteristics, graduation success and alumni outcomes, as well as a host of retention and financial aid measures. Subsequently, we have been reviewing all processes and practices from recruitment to the curriculum, from student to alumni services, in light of our research into the “fit” AUP student who flourishes in the University’s particular institutional culture. In fact, the University does attract a more mature, independent, globally minded, high-potential student than the average college-going recruit. Global explorers know what they want. The global explorer is hungry for a journey of intellectual, cultural, and personal exploration. Such a student is undaunted by the experience of being “not at home” or being “in the home of another” and is comfortably independent in a foreign environment. Global explorers seek to go beyond the curricular and cultural bounds of their national university systems in search of both intellectual adventure and the cultural challenges of studying abroad. They seek a university experience that helps them to affirm their global citizenship and to shape an international trajectory, both personal and professional. Our research shows that the vast majority leaves AUP, at least initially, to seek careers in the global workplace. A significant minority, using AUP as a springboard to prestigious graduate schools, enjoys the support and mentoring offered by high-profile faculty teacher scholars to pursue post-graduate degrees. Global explorers are all different and they follow different pathways to and from AUP. The portrait of the AUP student we serve requires nuance, as the University hosts a range of different kinds. Our “fit” students hail from the entire globe, may have parents of two different nationalities and have lived in a third country, speak three or four languages upon entrance, and feel comfortable in a learning environment of great demographic diversity.

Another kind of global explorer may have never left his or her country before coming to AUP, but has yearned for the “bigger life”—the study, the languages, the travel, the cultural connections, the feeling of global belonging, the transformative experience—that only an international college degree such as ours can provide. Still other global explorers feel at home in the AUP classroom with its characteristic mix of different nationalities, languages, cultures, ethnicities, ideologies and faiths. Finally, given AUP’s location in Paris and our globally mobile population, our planning and curriculum must take into account the different points of entry of all of AUP’s student constituencies: our three- and four-year degree-seeking undergraduates, one-to-two-year Master’s students, first-year partner program students, third-year study-abroad students, independent visitors, and transfer students.

All of our global explorers, whatever their origins, come forth in search of what we call AUP’s “third culture” community. Since our founding as an international college, we have defined our natural diversity as the air we breathe, one in which no national majority, location, or shared heritage connects members to one another. Instead, such an international environment privileges intellectual and social collaboration amongst people from diverse mono-cultural, bi-cultural, and third-culture backgrounds. Members’ sense of belonging emerges from relationships to others of similar aspirations and ideas and values. There are pocket communities of internationals all over the world that attract global explorers. AUP is one of them.

FACULTY

AUP’s faculty body is composed of 28 different nationalities representing all continents of the world. Dedicated to teaching, the faculty is also richly productive, hosting high numbers of international conferences, study groups, research projects, and events each year. In 2016, AUP faculty members published 19 books and more than 150 articles, gave over 200 academic presentations and conducted 30 study trips all over the world, serving half of the AUP student body.  See their achievements here.  AUP faculty research tends to focus on the cross-cultural, the comparative, and the interdisciplinary, supporting the University’s mission of producing students for a world held in common. A shared curricular vision informs graduate and undergraduate level teaching, and is one that looks toward global sustainability, conflict resolution, diplomacy, cultural translation, and social injustice by every disciplinary tool at our disposal, but most important of all, focuses upon the steady cultivation of our own and our students’ humanity. AUP has no separate graduate faculty—all faculty members who participate in graduate teaching also teach in the undergraduate program.

UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS

AUP is led by a seasoned and deeply committed president, Celeste Schenck, who was appointed by a 25-member Board of Trustees comprised of dedicated alumni, business leaders, nonprofit leaders, and people from a range of professions and walks of life. AUP’s Board Chair, Raymond Henze, is an AUP parent who has served as Chairman of the Executive Committee and senior trustee at Williams College. Former board chairs of Swarthmore and Grinnell also serve on the AUP board. AUP’s twelfth president since 2009, President Schenck has served AUP for 27 years in multiple capacities, including as Professor of Comparative Literature, Associate Dean for Curriculum Development, Vice President for Academic Innovation, Vice President for Development and Grants Management, Dean of the University and Provost. She is a recognized leader in higher education, serving as immediate past president of AAICU (The Association of American International Colleges and Universities) and as an invited participant in the G20 (an organization of visionary college presidents forming in the United States). Schenck is a scholar of women’s literature, editor of multiple series, and, more recently, co-author of books on women, culture, and development. She received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University, and her doctorate from Brown University.

President Schenck has created a highly professional leadership team composed of the Provost, the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, the VP for Enrollment Management, the VP for Presidential Initiatives, and the VP for Security, Operations and Student Services.

Mary McLean Evans joined the Leadership Team in 2017 as Vice President for Presidential Initiatives. Previous positions included 30+ years at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, where she served in a wide variety of development and administrative positions including Executive Director of Principal Gifts and Assistant Vice President and Executive Director, Career Services. Based in the United States, Mary serves as the AUP’s lead fundraiser for the University’s most significant prospects and donors, and leads the Outreach and Advancement team, setting strategy for development and constituent initiatives. 

Reporting to the Vice President for Presidential Initiatives, the Director of University Outreach and Advancement will work closely with members of the leadership team as well as with members of the AUP Board of Trustees, especially members of the Development, Outreach and Communications Committee of the Board.

THE OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY OUTREACH AND ADVANCEMENT

Building on the momentum of the University’s 50th Anniversary in 2012, AUP has grown and professionalized its development function substantially over the past five years. The University has made significant investments in resource development, raising and allocating funds to expand the staff, investing in prospect research, building prospect pipelines and beginning to deploy frontline fundraisers. The focus in recent years has been on major gifts fundraising while also working to build a reliable annual fund program. Parents of current and former AUP students represent an increasingly significant pool of support.

Now led by the Vice President for Presidential Initiatives, today AUP has four staff members on the road. The Director will have significant front-line fundraising responsibilities in addition to his/her management responsibilities.

ALUMNI AND PARENT RELATIONS

AUP has a dedicated alumni and parent community of over 20,000 members living in 145 different countries around the globe, a fact that makes consistent engagement and fundraising more challenging than in a wholly regional university context. That said, many AUP alumni are deeply engaged with the University, serving as volunteer leaders on the President’s Alumni Advisory Council (launched in 2013-2014 in the United States, Europe and the Middle East), returning to campus as speakers, providing internships for AUP students, mentoring current students in a successful alumni-to-student mentoring program, and supporting the University in its efforts to maintain contact with and extend our reach to active alumni worldwide. Dedicated alumni trustees now constitute approximately 30% of the Board. In 2013, AUP established a parent relations function, which serves as a central contact point, delivers parent communications, and brings over 450 parents to campus for Orientation and other events throughout the year. The parent of an AUP alumna is now Chair of the Board of Trustees.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF PARIS FOUNDATION

The American University of Paris Foundation, Inc. (AUPF) is a New York not-for-profit corporation, recognized as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its primary purpose is to support The American University of Paris, and, as such, it is recognized as a supporting charity under Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Chairman of the Foundation serves on the AUP Board and the Foundation has six other trustees, five of whom are alumni and one of whom is a former AUP trustee. Three Foundation trustees serve on an Investment Committee and it is planned that the Foundation and its Investment Committee will oversee the endowment. The Director of University Outreach and Advancement will work closely with the AUPF on gift recording between AUP and AUPF and on donor stewardship.

THE AGENDA FOR THE DIRECTOR OF UNIVERSITY OUTREACH AND ADVANCEMENT

The new Director of University Outreach and Advancement will be an energetic advancement leader with experience in higher education and a demonstrated track record of increasing success in annual giving, major gifts, and management, as well as the systems that track and measure advancement progress. The successful candidate is motivated by the opportunity to strengthen AUP’s culture of philanthropy through measurable increases in constituent engagement, annual support and the successful completion of AUP Ascending. 

Specific expectations for the new Director of University Outreach and Advancement include:

Enhancing AUP’s Culture of Giving

Working in collaboration with and under the direction of the VP for Presidential Initiatives, the Director of University Outreach and Advancement is expected to have a direct impact on improving AUP’s overall philanthropic culture and to work to expand its network of friends and donors. In particular, the Director is charged with developing major relationships on behalf of AUP in Europe and the Middle East, which will augment the work of the Vice President and support the professional development and success of the Paris fundraising team. Advice on messaging, managing and supervising frontline fundraisers and volunteer leadership, and the continued engagement of leadership-level gifts are activities that AUP expects from the new Director of University Outreach and Advancement. AUP’s trustee and alumni leadership have pledged their full support and involvement.

Setting the Bar (Appropriately) High

Establishing high expectations across all elements of the program will be important, as is the ability to support the team’s success in meeting those expectations. The Director of University Outreach and Advancement is expected to bring vision and strategic thinking to meeting challenging future goals. The understanding and trust that grows from good management practices will enable AUP to achieve desired outcomes for the entire unit.

Encouraging Campus-Wide Engagement

Many areas of campus have an interest in establishing closer connections to the fundraising and outreach efforts at AUP. In many cases, faculty and administrators who engage directly in the delivery of AUP’s educational program are the best people to highlight the detail and vibrancy of opportunities for gift support. The campus community provides a resource that can add value and expertise to the advancement effort. The Director will work to engage faculty and staff in advancement efforts, honoring and capitalizing on strong relationships with alumni, parents and friends.

Key attributes of AUP's next Director of University Outreach and Advancement will include:

• A minimum of a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent; the successful candidate is likely to have a Master’s degree as well.
• A minimum of seven years of experience in higher education development contexts, including participation in a comprehensive fundraising campaign from planning to delivery.
• A hands-on, entrepreneurial, and creative leadership style to act as the executive coach of a young but well-positioned development staff, which is planned to grow across the alumni and development functions.
• Capacity to fundraise “multilingually,” that is, according to American standards and practices of fundraising, but inflected by a European or Middle Eastern, African, or Asian sensibility (less overt, more tacit, and subtle in approach, often requiring education of potential donors about the very nature of fundraising).
• Demonstrable effective management and goal- and priority-setting skills in both the alumni/parent relations and development functions.
• Evidence of capacity to become a lead University fundraiser by means of a track record of gifts secured.
• Strong writing and communication skills, as well as meticulous organizational capacity and leadership skills in team building and management.

• Commitment to the cost-effective and strategic use of resources.
• An understanding of data systems and management, expertise in Raisers Edge.

1.       A letter demonstrating your interest in developing AUP’s Advancement capacity in an international, highly diverse environment.

2.       A brief statement within the letter of your personal and professional approach to development and alumni relations.
