The CASA Celebration Week will take place in the month of March every year since March corresponds with New Year Celebrations in Central Asia-South Asian countries. Members of the UNO community, as well as Creighton, UNL, and other schools around the metro area, are invited to participate. Activities during this week will also be open to public.
The Honorable H.E. Javlon Vakhabov, the Ambassador of Uzbekistan to U.S., will provide an opening keynote for CASA Week on Monday, March 25, at noon in the Milo Bail Student Center. Ambassador Richard Hoagland will also be a guest of honor at UNO for the 2018 CASA Week Celebrations.
