My name is Toktosunova Zhamilia, and I am a fourth-year student majoring in the Anthropology Department. I aspire to pursue osteoarchaeology in the future that is why I chose AUCA to get my education. In 2022, I was admitted to the SUSI program.

Dear AUCA community, we are pleased to announce Dr. Chynarkul Ryskulova's appointment to the position of Vice-President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) and inform you that the AUCA Board of Trustees has enthusiastically approved her election.

My name is Marsel Sadykov. I graduated from the Psychology Department at AUCA in 2023. My academic journey at AUCA was a transformative and enriching experience that left an indelible mark on my personal and intellectual growth.

On August 11th, the Counseling Service of AUCA conducted the first-ever EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training in Kyrgyzstan. This innovative technique was first implemented to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
