In 2021, during the crisis in Afghanistan, the ASU President's Office established a special program of support for students and scholars/faculty who were at risk and had to leave Afghanistan. Afghan senior scholars came to ASU to teach and participate in research and 67 Afghan women students were also offered full support to continue their undergraduate or graduates studies which had been interrupted. ASU is also continuing to host Afghan Fulbright scholars and other students, as well. This section provides information on these students and scholars and what they are doing at ASU as well as background to this major university-wide initiative.
