Happy Yalda Night!

Thank you for celebrating Yalda Night with us, the longest and darkest night of the year. Although we are far from our families, it was a pleasure to celebrate Yalda together at UConn. Special thanks to Angela Rola, director of MECP, for making it happen.

 

Egypt

We had a wonderful time talking with UConn Egyptian students and learning about their vibrant culture! We hope to host more events like this highlighting the beauty of the Middle East.

Nowruz 2024

We celebrated Nowruz, the Persian New Year, on March 25, 2024, and we had a great time with the UConn community. That was such an amazing night. Happy new year every one!
