September 25, 2025 – Fall 2025 La Rentrée Virtual Coffee

☕✨ Family Café Society Virtual Coffee: La Rentree! ✨☕: Join us for the inaugural 2025/2026 gathering of the AUP Family Café Society, a virtual space for families to connect, share, and support one another throughout the academic year.

In this first session, we’ll explore “La Rentrée”—the French term for the back-to-school season—and dive into the topic of culture shock, a common experience for students adjusting to life in Paris and at AUP. Whether your student is a first-year navigating new routines or a returning student re-acclimating to campus life, this conversation will offer insights, empathy, and practical tips for supporting them through the transition.

☕ Bring your coffee, tea, or favorite morning beverage—and let’s start the year together.
