Northeastern is currently hosting Afghan refugees Lala Osmani, Mashal Aziz, Khadija Arian and Sara Sherindil, all of whom first met as finance and accounting majors at the American University in Afghanistan. After being connected to Northeastern by the New University in Exile Consortium, the university has been able to offer support to these displaced students. Malik Sundaram, associate vice president of international enrollment management, and dean of the Office of Global Services, was quoted saying “We are a global university, and we have a social responsibility to support these students from Afghanistan who are looking for hope and an education.”
