The Association of International Students was created under the initiative of Sandra Real (a MA in Eurasian Studies student from Mexico) and the International Admissions Department of Nazarbayev University with the purpose of implementing the internationalization of our student body, create networking and friendship ties between all the international students on campus, and promote the integration of local and international students through the organization of excursions, team buildings, language lessons, and cultural activities where each student can share their traditions with the local community.
