In 1995, AUI students took the initiative to create the institution’s first newspaper, “AUI News”. The publication featured content in English and Arabic and continued to be published until 2000, when its name changed to “AUI Bridge”.

In the same year, separate editorial teams began publishing an Arabic-language paper, “al-Hayat al-Jami’iyya”, and a French-language newspaper, “Avant Garde”. Both publications were published for the next decade. In 2013, the “Al Akhawayn Chronicle” replaced AUI Bridge and ran until its final issue appeared in 2016. University news has since shifted to different formats online, but its student publications in print represent an important chapter in the institution’s history
