This year’s symposium featured an engaging panel of speakers from Central Asia who came together to share their personal experiences, career paths, and cultural perspectives with students. Through thoughtful conversations, our speakers reflected on how their identities, communities, and lived experiences have shaped both their professional and personal journeys. Students had the opportunity to hear firsthand stories that highlighted important social, cultural, and professional themes while gaining a deeper understanding of Central Asian communities and experiences.
Featured speakers included Dralla Aierken, Ali Baluch, Omid Jahan, and Makez Rikweda, each bringing their own unique voice, background, and perspective to the discussion.
