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. 

The concentration of "Peace and Conflict Study" of the Faculty of "Liberal Arts and Sciences" announces that you have the opportunity to partake in the first-ever Yntymak Week, a global event taking place right here in Bishkek on the occasion of the Global Peace Day.

Body Moving Day is an annual event of the Orientation Program that fosters a sense of community among the incoming freshmen. It allows them to bond with their peers, engage in friendly competition, and enjoy participating in water activities where mobility is hardly needed!

Congratulations from Nicholas Christakis, Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University, in honor of AUCA's 30th anniversary.

The most colorful, challenging and adrenaline-fueled event of the Orientation Program is undoubtedly AUCA-Grafia! Ten teams, ten stations, and ten of the most cherished eggs - who will be the fastest to complete all the tasks and collect all the eggs?

On Monday, August 21, Orientation Oprogrma 2023 officially kicked off. The first day of Orientation is always a thrilling and memorable experience for freshmen and the whole AUCA community.

I'm Amanda Kadyrbekova, a dedicated fourth-year student pursuing a major in the Journalism department. Reflecting on my academic journey, one remarkable milestone stands out—the Global UGRAD program, a transformative experience that unfolded during the fall semester of 2022.

The intensive summer program National Security Language Initiative for Youth, sponsored by the US Department of State, was successfully completed. The American University of Central Asia (AUCA) is thankful to be privileged in hosting NSLI-Y Program in Bishkek to support the study of the 18 U.S. high school students from June 24, 2023, through August 10, 2023.
