 Welcome to AUB Alumni Club of Jordan
Our Club was established in 1972 and hosts more than 1500 AUB alumni. The Club aims at bringing the alumni together and maintaining their connection with their Alma Mater. The Club owns its own center in Amman and has a full time administrative employee. The Club also serves as an office and a center for cultural and social activities as well as a liaison office for AUB in Jordan.

Executive Board

The AUB alumni Club of Jordan General Council elects an Executive Board of ten members for a two-year term. The elections take place in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Interior. The Executive Council members meet bi-weekly to discuss the current issues concerning the alumni such as social and cultural activities, visits of AUB officials, membership, scholarships, matters concerning applicants to AUB, website, newsletter in addition to administrative and financial matters.
