Sahar

Sahar is a BBA student with a concentration in management. She enrolled at AUAF in 2022 and chose a business major because she believes in creating meaningful changes, exercising strong leadership, and cultivating effective planning processes. AUAF supports her in pursuing her goals in this field by offering educational opportunities that meet global standards and foster the empowerment of students. Sahar currently works as a financial and administrative manager for a non-governmental organization that supports Afghan women. She is responsible to highlight and address the challenges and accomplishments of the organization by practicing the knowledge and experience she has gained at AUAF and AUAF’s emphasis on liberal arts and sciences has enabled her to take on various leadership roles throughout her academic journey. In addition, Sahar serves as the president of the AUAF Speakers Club, which assists AUAF students in developing public speaking and networking skills. As a mentor, Sahar shares her academic experiences with newly enrolled students to help them navigate the transition to remote university life. In addition, she participated virtually in the Doha Debate Ambassadors program late last year, gaining profound leadership insights and enhancing her communication skills. Sahar emphasizes the importance of pursuing education in Afghanistan, stating, "Afghan youth need an education that aligns with international standards to thrive in a globalized world. AUAF is the premier institution offering such education, providing the academic rigor for an essential global perspective for students' personal and professional development. Ultimately, by establishing national and global partnerships and providing learning opportunities, the university equips future leaders with creative skills and helps create positive change in Afghanistan."
