American University in Cairo Celebrates 100th Anniversary

The American University in Cairo is celebrating the centennial of its founding in 1919 by the American Mission in Egypt, affiliated with the United Presbyterian Church of North America.  

You can visit the centennial web page for more information about scheduled events, institutional history, and stories of alumni and staff.  You can also learn more about a centennial book authored by Andrew Humphreys that is scheduled for release later this year.

An earlier history, The American University in Cairo, 1919-1987, written by Lawrence R. Murphy was published by the American University in Cairo Press.  New and used copies of the book are available through Abe Books and other sources.

The university also posted an interesting short YouTube video, "AUC Throughout History."
