The Association of Jesuit University Presses (AJUP) is an association of North American university presses which are members of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The AJUP is composed of ten charter members.[1]

AJUP symbols
The official A.J.U.P. logo depicts two wolves facing a kettle.[1] The image of the wolves and kettle is taken from the birthplace and home of Saint Ignatius of Loyola in Gipuzkoa, a province in the Basque Country of Spain.[1] The image was originally carved into the stone above the entry to Loyola's family manor house.[1]
