AUK students will be recognized as agents of change in Kurdistan and globally, where their innovative spirit, values of inclusivity and diversity, and intellectual excellence impact economic, social, and political progress.
The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) supports AUK students on their path to excellence. OSA works to ensure that students graduate with a co-curricular and extra-curricular university experience that ensures their acquisition of the soft skills and leadership skills necessary to become agents of change in Kurdish society and beyond. This includes the cultivation of a dedication to purpose-driven action, where students are encouraged to expand their global mindedness, inclusivity and ethical community service.
As AUK grows and adapts, so does the engagement and development of our student life. While we expand our department and respond to the needs of our student body, we recognize the value in implementing a philosophy of holistic success. While acknowledging that university is primarily a place of learning and an academic journey, we believe that a student’s success story happens in conjunction with everything else outside the classroom - building skill within the workforce, mental health support, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, community service, and a community support system.
Every AUK student has a talent that is unique to their skills and passions, and AUK’s Student Life platform is the place where they will find opportunities to build and expand on these skills, in order to one day make a meaningful impact on the Kurdish community and beyond.
Student Life opportunities include:
- Club initiation and leadership
- Club membership
- Independent student events
- Student Government
- Life at AUK’s Student Residence Hall
Additionally, OSA produces the student resources and information listed below:
- Student Handbook
- New Student Orientation
