On May 8th, ALCI hosted a Certificate Ceremony for three of its programs: IEP, UAP, and Study@ CSUSM. While the main purpose of this special event was to celebrate the end of Spring 2025 semester and cheer on ALCI students' achievements, the attendees enjoyed cultural dance performances by Ketdaovieng Singkeo (Laos), Ayesha Ihsan (Pakistan), Tashneet Kaur (India), Rina Arai (Japan), and Mumtozbegim Dadakhanova (Kyrgyzstan). A special exhibit of cultural objects from Pakistan was presented by Ayesha Ihsan. Shusuke Miyachi (Japan) and Rand Al-Omari (Jordan) shared their Spring 2025 experiences in heartfelt speeches. The Certificate Ceremony was marked by a sense of community, as students, faculty, staff, volunteers, and supporters, came together to celebrate culture, diversity, and friendships!
