Bolashak students and visiting scholars from Kazakhstan, local community, Tucson-Almaty Sister Cities (TASCC) members, Russian and Slavic Studies Department faculties, and UofA students gathered at the UofA campus on this sunny day of March 21, 2012, to celebrate Nauryz. The event was organized by the students and instructor of the course "The Other Kazakhstan", Zura Dotton. |
