PRAD Lab

PRAD Lab is a student-run advertising lab that bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing the students an opportunity to handle real clients since nothing could be more relevant, practical, and credible than real projects, real deadlines, pressures, and business issues. PRAD Lab offers marketing, advertising, and public relations services serving internally to AUC's departments, offices, SU clubs, Venture Lab startups & externally to Startups, Mid-sized companies, and NGOs. For more information, send an email to the PRAD Lab.

AUC Photographic Studio

The JRMC can supply students with cameras and other photographic equipment. There is a professional photographic studio in the department, as well as image processing software and dedicated labs. Access to the darkroom is primarily given to students registered in the photography class, though it is sometimes possible to accommodate other students when the lab is not in use by photography students and by appointment with the technical supervisor.

The Caravan

The Caravan is The American University in Cairo’s student-produced newspaper published through the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication (JRMC). It covers campus and regional news in English and Arabic. The publication was founded in 1921, just two years after AUC was established, and catered to a student body comprised solely of males. Today the Caravan caters to a large and diverse population of students, faculty, and staff and is considered a publication by the Egyptian government. It is printed weekly and can be found on campus on Sundays at all the gates, offices, departments, and online (since September 2005).
