It’s for The American University of Paris — and we have an opportunity to help send one of AUP’s newest accepted students to Paris!

Esmat is a Hazara refugee from Afghanistan who will be attending AUP this fall as an undergrad student. He plans to study comparative politics so he can continue his work advocating for women, girls, and other underrepresented groups in Afghanistan.

Esmat has received a generous financial aid package, but still needs additional support to fully fund his studies. Several AUP DC alumni have stepped up to support Esmat — and we’re reaching out to our network to help this inspiring young man attend AUP and continue his important advocacy work.

Learn more of Esmat’s story and how you can contribute to his scholarship and housing fund here: https://fnd.us/92C4Te?ref=sh_eCRAAe

The relationship between D.C. and France is a special one — and we learned a lot about it yesterdday with Off The Mall Tours.

Of course there’s the Marquis de Lafayette, the renowned French aristocrat and American Revolutionary War General, and Pierre L’Enfant, a French architect whose dream of planning the streets capes of D.C. only came to fruition after his death. But did you know the Renwick Gallery and Eisenhower Building were influenced by French architectural styles like Beaux Arts and Second Empire?

And then there’s other unique DC-French connections like DC-born, Howard educated Lillian Evanti, who became a successful opera singer in France and the first African American woman to be hired by a European opera house, and Jean Jules Jusserand, the longtime French Ambassador to the U.S. who founded the Alliance Française’s DC chapter.

And of course, we can’t forget our favorite local connection to France — the AUP DC alumni group! 🇫🇷🇺🇸

Thanks to Katie for being our fearless, fun, super knowledgeable tour guide and for the AUP DC alum who braved the DC weather to have an unforgettable learning experience!

Connaissez-vous cet homme célèbre?

In honor of Bastille Day, AUP DC is taking a walking tour to learn about the many connections between D.C. and France — from the Revolutionary War hero General Gilbert Marquis de Lafayette to the original planner of our Nation's Capital Pierre L'Enfant!

For tickets and more info on the tour (including where to meet us afterwards for a drink), visit the event page on AUP Global - https://global.aup.edu/networks/events/91272

Hope to see you there!
