MISSION

Engage and connect alumni across Europe.

OUR PURPOSE

Provide the capacity building resources for our member organizations, while facilitating networking opportunities for the members of the U.S. Exchange Alumni Community in Europe and to promote the transatlantic relationship throughout Europe.

History of ENAM

Over the past 70 years, the United States has invested billions of dollars into 417 U.S. Government-Sponsored International Exchange Programs that have positively transformed lives of 1+ million U.S. Exchange Alumni from the United States and 193+ countries.

1946

In 1946, Senator J. William Fulbright had a revolutionary vision to create a safer, more peaceful, and more prosperous world using the power of international exchange. You can find more information on the many US exchange programs for non-U.S. citizens here.

1977

Since 1977, the U.S. Exchange Alumni Community has embarked on an ambitious capacity-building effort at the local, regional, and global levels. These capacity-building efforts are motivated by the common values and personal growth experienced by U.S. Exchange Alumni while living, working, and studying abroad.

2010

Discussions to create an umbrella organization to connect the members of all U.S. exchange programs across boarders in Europe first started in the Summer of 2010. ENAM was officially founded a little over a year later in Paris in December 2011.
