- To build bridges of mutual respect and understanding between the
Arabic-speaking and American peoples
- To create networks for Arab-American professionals, academics and
students
- To present the Arab and Arab-American cultural arts in their various
forms to American audiences (U.S. and Canada)
- To assist in the growth and development of the Arab World by
providing the professional services and skills of its membership when
needed
The history of the Association of Arab-American University Graduates is the
history of a profound and irreversible intellectual and personal awakening of
Arab-Americans to the critical issues affecting their original homeland and the
powerful role of the United States in shaping the forms and the consequences
of those issues. It is a history also of the events in the Arab world and their
impact on the status and rights of Arab-Americans.
The June 1967 war changed the Arab-American community by jolting
many of second and third-generation Arab-Americans and causing a highly
hostile attitude toward Arab-origin individuals in the U.S. and Canada. In a
book about the early years of the association, The First Decade, an overview
of early AAUG history, describes the feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt and
despair and helplessness that engulfed the community. The earlier immigrants
began to understand the reasons for the hostility directed against them and
became more active in understanding that part of the world that was now so
much to affect their lives in their American environment. The June 1967 war
acted as a catalyst for the older and newer Arab-Americans to realize and
emphasize their common cultural and linguistic heritage.
