Student Spotlight
Rahida
I embarked on this instructive journey in 2023. In a time when unfortunate events occurred and stifled the educational aspirations of Afghan girls like myself, the emergence of the Transition to Success (TTS) program heralded a transformative era. It became a beacon of hope, illuminating the paths of many girls towards educational empowerment. Among the myriad subjects offered in the TTS program, science and digital literacy stand out. These subjects equipped me with the skills necessary to thrive in a society where communication and access to information are increasingly reliant on digital technologies. The dedication of our professors has been instrumental in steering us toward remarkable progress, for which I am profoundly grateful. To my fellow Afghan girls, I implore you to grasp onto education with determination; education is something that no one can take away from you. No matter what you are fighting for, leading with a sharp mind can bring about positive changes. I extend my deepest gratitude to the AUAF community for their steadfast support and encouragement. Your belief in us has been a guiding light amidst the shadow of uncertainty. To my beloved family, whose unwavering love and support have been my bedrock, I owe you my sincerest thanks.
Student Clubs
At AUAF, students have the opportunity to join a wide range of student clubs, covering areas such as cultural, academic, and recreational interests. These clubs provide a platform for students to collaborate, develop new skills, and contribute to the campus community. Joining a student club is a great way for students to explore their passions and expand their horizons.
Extracurricular Activities
In addition to academic excellence, AUAF offers a variety of extracurricular programs designed to enhance the overall student experience. These programs include community service initiatives, internships, leadership development workshops, and recreational activities. Engaging in these programs allows students to broaden their perspectives, gain practical skills, and make a positive impact within and beyond the university.
