🎯One’s Destination is never a Place, but a Journey Toward a New Way of Seeing Things

βœ…Faculty Enrichment Program (FEP) Fellow Malikajon Fayzieva from Bukhara State University is currently being hosted by the University of Arkansas. She has been observing courses on, Curriculum Development and Instructional Planning etc.

πŸ“ŒMalikajon says: β€œStudying abroad is about experiencing a foreign country β€” and the most beautiful and important part of a country’s culture is its people. I was amazed by the culture of American people when I had lunch in an American family. Also, I was excited when the University of Arkansas gave me a new bicycle to travel around. For me it is a new concept - walking and cycling are the best ways to get around a city!”

πŸ”ΈMalikajon has also attended the International Students and Scholars team and events, such as ICT and Conversation Club – where she enjoys sharing about her culture and learning about the cultures of other international students and scholars.
