We invite the UNO community, as well as Creighton, UNL, and other schools around the metro area to attend. Activities during this week will also be open to the public.
As part of the Center for Afghanistan and Regional Studies' strategic plan to expand its activities and scope beyond Afghanistan to the countries around it, and to provide opportunities for UNO students and community members to learn more about Central Asia and South Asia (CASA), we are planning to hold our first annual CASA Celebration Week.
