Latin America Branches Initiatives

The Latin America branches of the American University of Beirut have played a pivotal role in strengthening ties between alumni, local communities, and the University. These branches have actively organized a range of cultural activities, celebrated Latin American heritage while fostered dialogue and engagement with AUB’s mission. Events such as music and dance performances, exhibitions, and lectures have not only enriched local cultural life but also reinforced the sense of community among alumni and friends of the University.

Alongside cultural engagement, the branches have been instrumental in supporting AUB through fundraising initiatives. A landmark contribution came from the Jafet family, whose major donation has had a lasting impact on the University’s facilities and programs. Numerous other gifts from alumni and supporters across Latin America have further enabled AUB to expand its academic and cultural reach, demonstrating the enduring commitment of its Latin American community to the growth and development of the University.
